Take me not

A looming encounter

Take me not

Here I am

Come take me

If you will

I stand alone

Without any blemish

And many a perfection

That which you lust for

Do you want companion?

Haven't the many you take

Given you more

A lived life

A history to have ended

You insatiable monster

Why do you come now?

To abduct that which you own not

Forever to the abyss of the unknown

You show us none that you take

The state they be

If they exist

Tis the destiny of every man

To commune in your realm

But I refuse to go with you

With my life unaccomplished

Without progeny

Or betrothal in the first instance

I want more

If you spare me

Take another not

For my time shall come

Then I shall be ready
