To My Characters

I’m sorry I apologize for all that I make you go through The torture The heartbreak The madness, the sadness I did it all for a cause In hopes that your antics and misadventure would bring something to other people’s lives I hope that’s a cause you would want to live for But I understand that not all of you lived There’s a reason for that too I’ve watched you suffer and grow I’ve watched you as you faced every enemy and foe And sometimes, it wasn’t fair All that misery and hurt So as I watched you cry, as I watched your friends and the people around you die I thought “I don’t want to leave them here alone.” “They don’t deserve that.” I didn’t kill you I helped you off, to someplace beautiful and soft Where there wouldn’t be any more death, or war, or hate I hoped you’d find some comfort there So remember, next time you’re lying defeated on the floor Remember, the author loves you forevermore. And she is so so so sorry.
