The last poem
"My dearest friend, I'll keep my composure
Even if every breath brings me closer to you
Hoping you'll let me have some closure
But understanding what you must do
The descent to the underworld is my rightful destiny
Painful reality I cannot escape
Everyone becomes Hades' subject eventually
I understand I wasn't meant to stay
So when my infinite reaches its limit
Grab my hand, don't leave me behind
Tear my body apart as nature intended
But as a favor, save my mind"
