Release me

That will to live:

              the beautiful thing,

              the ineffable thing,

                   the every thing,

  I gave it to you.

What did you do?

    Give it back.

Oh! Come back.

Please!

Please!

     Please me.

Or release me

Don’t come in my dreams,

  Nor occupy my thoughts.

       Let me lie,

My will can die.
