Convince me

My days have came and went,
Minutes, hours, pointlessly spent.
Mind so captivated on a single beauty,
Enticing me to cry, from self pity.

As beautiful as I have made the world to be,
I realize it isn’t as flawless as I perceived to see.
The camouflaged shadows, glided like silk over my eyes,
Adjusting perfectly to my sight, to the calling of my cries.

Turns out, that the crimson coin, so valuable,
turns into the currency of the realm,
Scar for scar, traded for happiness,
This suicide sketch is not how I want to live,
But what more is there left for me to give?

Now, waiting for my life to end,
I can only hope and pray,
For you, in a letter, you must send,
To convince, for me, to stay.
