Be gentle with me, reader
As I write the final lines
For there’s pain behind this smile;
It’s hard to say goodbye
To the world I’ve carried with me
Every day and every night.
There’s great sorrow in each parting
So forgive me if I cry
When the last chapter is written
And a new journey begins
Of unraveling all the pieces
That have burrowed deep within.
So be gentle with me, reader.
Let me linger a bit more.
Let me gaze upon the landscape,
Right before I close the door.
I will soon give you the pages
That contain parts of my heart
Until then lend me some patience
"The End" is the hardest part.
