A Letter to Death

I've been waiting so long for you,

Longing to feel your icy embrace.

All I needed was for you to touch me,

Fill me with broken pieces of you

Necessary to tear myself apart.

Why couldn't you love me like I wanted?

You could've just taken me away,

But you wanted to see me struggle,

Wrestle with my body,

Battle with the impulses of my mind.

If you had just held me,

Then I could've felt complete.

Maybe I wouldn't have attempted all those times,

Because I realize,

Only with you

I can succeed.

So,

I'm begging you.

Take me.

In the night,

I'll fade on the wind like a forgotten whisper,

Or

Finally drown in the sorrows that threaten to over take me.

You could decide for me.

Make it painful,

Unbearable,

Make me scream out my misery.

I don't care.

All I ask is that you bring me back

Into the arms of home.

…Skywarp.
