Farewell

Lost in the hopelessness ensured by rejection,
Seething with the loneliness seen in my reflection;
My eyes grow red with the failing light of day,
And the need to be loved at all shortens my stay.

"Only to cared for,
Only to be liked;
For those things only I wish in this life.
To not receive such casts my being away,
And with you all, really, I can no longer stay."

To prolong this falsehood
Would be to take the risk,
For no one can love me;
I do not exist.
