Plea To the Monster

Time has blessed us This I can not deny But it isn't enough Are the words I do cry It's torture it's misery Affliction and pain Knowing of when It will stop is no gain Suffer us no more Give us more time What was our passion Was it a crime Inflicted upon us This horrendous disease End us this monster Give us some ease If you can't grant our wishes Then give time and more To speak of our hearts Before closing the door Just do so with temperance Of pain and of grief We will thank you so kindly To grant this relief
