Abandon Ye All Hope for All is Lost

Artwork: Poet - Rudolph Kurz, date unknown

someone
please:

kill me
now.

my life
has no
more
meaning.

every
effort
wasted,

every
tear
shed
worthless,

my heart
has
nothing
left
but hate
and dread
and envy
and pain.

i cannot
help but
be
who i
am:

i have
no beauty,
i have
no worth,
i have
nothing
left.

the most
precious
thing
in my
life...

...i fear...

now
belongs
to
another -

fairer of
face,
lither of
limb.

someone
please
kill me
now.

all,
alas,
is
lost.
