Why Are You Worried

He looked down to me, and asked so coy,
“Now do you see, you silly boy?”
A failing effigy, a dark being in employ. 
If there is a smile, the fate has been decided. 
A face posed in guile, hoping I minded. 
This is the last drop, the last ounce of force. 
A wanting for it to stop, the ship left to its course. 
No energy, no reasoning to be left alive. 
I can’t seem to see, this is a solution to thrive. 
A worried thought for me, hoping suicide won’t arrive?
Are you so worried, that you have no trust. 
I thought you were freed, all contact mussed. 
A life no longer bound, to the monster in me. 
Can you even hear the sound, the voice I used to be?
Memories of me are fading, thoughts of yours misplaced. 
I was left waiting, but I’m just laid to waste.
