the character of love - index
you were my farewell to life now i am free for judgement and preparation you were the last ember of my hopeful expectation when i am groaning in final agony i would hope to be a slight or partially painless memory in your beautiful mind i am going to that lonely place soon of which no one has borne record i don't want you to go any further with me you can go back now i gave you all that i had left you were my last gasping breath of fresh air now the waters of terror are crashing on my shore you were special a "specialty" of sorts you were kind enough to come this far you were courageous a "specialist" of one you were my little champion, my little companion the revisitation of all that i had lost, incarnate you were kind enough to come this far i don't want you to go any further with me you can go back now if you need a memory... let the gentle surface ripples of ocean waves soothe you i gave you all that i had left it wasn't much for this i deeply apologize you deserved so much more you even tried to save me with such refreshing zeal like God's last hope of reaching me i was beyond help you accepted me for who i was and without judgement in faithful zeal you chided me for what i had not done and justly condemned me for crimes that i had not committed and overlooked the ones i had this is not a suicide note one can only kill the bearer of breath i was already dead with the appearance of life i came to you i am just a common coward had i been wise enough (en assez savant) and had i saved enough energy for one additional surface gasp we might have made it i love you with an unmeasurable love to contain it the oceans were as a plastic medicine cup or a small pill envelope it doesn't matter now you deserve so much more run home now keep your head up you were kind enough to come this far i don't want you to go any further with me you can go back now i love you with an unmeasurable love to contain it the oceans were as a plastic medicine cup or a small pill envelope i love you with an everlasting love to contain it the grand canyon be a small dimple on your chin below closed lips reserved for someone else it doesn't matter now you deserve so much more run home they won't catch you now you were kind enough to come this far i don't want you to go any further with me you can go back now
