Let Death Come To Me (For Life Is A Folly) Poem by Alex Fischer

Let Death Come To Me (For Life Is A Folly)



Let death come to me for life is a folly
No longer do I find happiness in the day
Everyday becomes worse and worse leading up to that wretched St. Valentines Day
I hate so I damn it all
Wishing that would all just fall, fall, fall
Fall away, away from my soul
Away from the hate that I create
From the life that I have I say 'Damn it all'

For every time I fall in love
Destroyed man I always become
So this is what I say so listen closely
For I won't repeat this because it reminds me of how lonely
I am only

So damn the stars and damn the moon
Damn all the things that make women swoon
Damn emotions and feelings
Those petty feelings
Damn human life and its existence
The wonderful sought out by human eyes
The ones I damn, I cannot deny
Damn the Earth and Damn the Seas
Damn all things that have breath so please
Do not try to advert my mind from the leaving of this horrible life
Those thoughts that seem so great
An escape at last
An escape that seems to have no gaps

And now as I see this accursed life I lead
I beg of you please do not follow me
For now it is my wish to be left alone
Alone to wait for the rock and the stone
Speech is no longer a key
Nor is my heart it is lost to me
Mercy? Please you'll get none from me nor will you get my sympathy
