Foolish Boy

My dear, how it pains me to leave.
It pains me more not to be with you.
I let myself be too attached, I knew I shouldn't have.
I fooled myself, thinking we'd get back together.
It was just not meant to be.

Dear, I'm numb. I feel no pain.
Yet I feel this cold biting sensation, and I don't want to live.
The hours of tossing, the hours of turning
While laying awake in my sleep was for no good cause.

Dear, I can feel it, the end coming close.
The end suddenly swiftly approaching
I pray for the Reaper to come and take me dear
I feel it. The end is near.

The end of this life, my life, my life of heartbreak.
All I ever wanted was love.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.

We were young, but I held hope to stay.
I held hope we'd become one again.
That we'd overcome this agony
That I'd overcome my fears and pain.

My fears came true
My pain came brutally strong
All I ask now
Is for the Reaper to come.

Do you see him?
Have you heard him?
The Reaper is nearby
I called him to me and so he shall take me with him.

You'll forget me soon enough
I'll leave your mind
I'll be the very least of your worries
Gone without a single trace.

I won't forget you.
Everything is too late.
You left way too fast.
I was lucky enough to be yours in the beginning, but you've tossed me aside like a ragdoll.

The Reaper, he whispers at my ear
He's calling my name
He knows my pain
He understands.

He'll take me to a wonderful place
Away from it all
Away from the torment
Away from the heartbreak.

How seldom I ever thought of him
Never thought I'd want to see him
But he's nearby and around the corner
Never have I been so excited to see him.

My dear, I'm a foolish boy.
If this is what love feels like
I'm done with it.
