This Will End

No, I am not afraid to die

It's every breath that comes before

Heartache, I've heard, is part of life

And I have broken more and more

But I can hope how this will end

With every line a comedy

That we could learn to love without demand

But unreserved honesty

If I am not afraid to die

And you are crouching at my door

And suffering is all there is to gain in life

Then what is all this waiting for?

I can see how this will end

In all its bitter tragedy

I'll give you all I have to spend

And you'll give nothing back to me

And I will wait for this to end

The back and forth, the battery

For you, at last, to comprehend

The kind of love of which I speak
