Jolly fellow

A guide to the dark side

By Fedora Published 11 months ago 1 min read

Thou jolly fellow

scorned by all

The one that causes men to disregard their lives And forever chases away hope’s light.

Oh jolly fellow

How I’ve missed your somber company

Which I once rejected, but now I yearn for your presence anew Especially your voice, a sweet reprieve.

My Dear Fellow

I want to accompany you, wherever your path may lead I’ll follow true, attentive to your words and yours alone. For in your company I’ve found a strange home.

I fear I have not long

What better way to spend my fleeting hours Than in your presence jolly fellow

And your dark glee that surrounds me.

As I stand at the threshold, I wonder Will your partner, suicide, be joining us? His presence looms; a haunting comfort A reminder of the peace that awaits.

Your partner is not my final destination

Yet he can lead me to that place

I wouldn’t want to burden anyone

But having this partner at my side brings me solace.

I have been warned not to bid your whispers Jolly fellow; take my hand this time

And Guide me to the realm of sorrowful bliss As I drown in the pit of my tears.

This time, I’ll embrace you without resistance

I’ll stand by your side, though others may flee

I want to love you with a depth I’ve never known And be soothed by your gentle honeyed tone.

Please jolly fellow

Return; have I let you off for too long? You may not comprehend my plea Perhaps, when you are tired of breathing.
