The quietness beckons
The cool nothingness
Tempts me with tendrils
That entwine my thoughts
So nought else prevails
I am too weak for this world
I'm not made for the role
Of living here and now
I have never seen a need
For pain and misery in my life
As a prerequisite of living
Why must I continue
When the quiet of nothingness
A cessation of misery
Calls and beckons to me?
Why can't you let me go,
I don't want to stay
All that keeps me here
All that ties me here
Keeps me from going
Joining oblivion
Seeking nothingness
Is you.
I love you and you love me
That is plain to see
And it is very hard to be
The cause of any misery
And until I revoke my vow
To stay for your sake,
You will forever want to know -
What if I cannot bear to stay?
My love for you sees your pain
Seeing my pain
Your distress for me is clear
So as I hold you dear
I will endeavour to continue my life
So that yours can be happy.
