I can end it for you



“I can end it for you”
The voice glided gently into my being
Seemingly un-originate and endless
I sensed it could’ve hit like a tidal wave
Obliterated my mind with raw power
Divine and ineffable light immolating me
Instead it soothingly caressed me
Divine and unknowable dark drenching me
“I can end it for you”
The words so sweet, so exciting
Like tasting your soulmate’s lips for the first time

“What can you end?”
A question technically yet a plea in reality
“Everything”
“Everything?”
And then the Darkness did as promised
All was covered for the first and final time

No more struggle
No more pain
No more yearning
No more happiness
No more death
No more life
No more love
No more everything
No more nothing
No more no more
No more
No

It was ended for me
