REST, MY LOVE

REST, MY LOVE. For you have been troubled for too long, your tired eyes and alabaster skin reflect on your ailing health.

Sleep, my love, let me croon you and hold you safely in my arms, hoping to have another day with you.

Close your eyes my love, for the last time, you've seen the cruelty of the world, and amongst that its beauty. You have suffered enough.

You might go, my love, for your heart is troubled and your fate disconsolate, and maybe one day I'll join you, I will be by your side soon, I will cross over, I will hope to see you again.

Please, rest peacefully, my love, I will bury your body with my bare hands, I will caress your distressed cheeks one last time, I will whisper sweet nothings in your ear and bring my lips to yours, I will sing your favorite lullaby, and I will watch the life bleed out of your eyes.

Don't fight it, my love, for death comes for us all.

And very soon, I'll be right there, within your grasp, my hands intertwined with yours, smiling and speaking in the language only you can hear.
