This poem was written about Max by one of my alters
TW: Suicide

It seems life has finally destroyed you my dear
The angry yet pained expression slowly falls from your face as the shadows cover it
Your eyes slowly close
As you drift away from me
Away away away you go
The gates of sleep are waiting for you to pass through
It's your only chance
To escape the pain of this life

You are so beautiful when you're asleep
But will you be waking up when morning comes

Clouds everywhere
The bright light blinds you
As you take that final step
Rest well strong king
Rest well

You look so peaceful when you're sleeping
But sadly you will not awake from this permanent slumber

You slowly turn to me
And the words fall from your lips
Tell my lover I'm sorry but this is goodbye
Perhaps we'll meet again
But I can't handle this pain
Goodbye

You are so beautiful when you're asleep
But you will not be waking when morning comes
You look so peaceful when you're sleeping but you will not awake from this permanent slumber

Rest well fallen king
Rest well fallen king
Rest well fallen king
Rest well my broken sleeping beauty
Rest well
Rest well
Rest well.
