Anyone's POV. You choose. Rhyming.
Get thee back!
Back, from my windowsill,
Back, from out my door,
Take thy wretchedness from off my hearth,
Thy curse from off my floor!
Stop thine torturing!
Torture from the depths
Of Death, darkness, decay,
Quit my anguish and my agony,
Stop my sorrowing this day!
Devil, out!
Out, cease thy cruelty,
Out, and take thy Death,
Somehow, out with my penalty,
Either out or cease my breath!
I cannot live!
Life, or I will die,
But with torture do I live,
So I die, in helpless agony,
With the death that thou doth give!
Follow, never!
Never follow me,
Stop thy flanking with thy kill,
Thy acrid breath upon my neck,
Will I live free? Nay, never will!
Stay thee back!
Back, from my dying breath,
Back, from my deadened soul,
Take thy victim and stay back from me,
Stay thee back and leave me whole!
Leave me be!
In living agony,
Take thy victim, bring me strife,
But you cannot force on me thine Death,
You cannot end my life!
'Tis thine curse!
A curse that I do live,
A curse, but nothing worse than Death,
This wretched life, you brought it here,
Each breath I breathe, my dying breath!
I would die!
Die, if it brings rest,
If dying brings my soul to peace,
But the living nightmare of my life
Makes Death more torture, never cease!
Thine stench!
Stench of thy lurking sword
Beats upon my laden back,
Because of thine influence and torturous Death
Which carefully leadeth down the track!
No life remains!
No, only Death,
Only Death, brought by thy will,
No peace will come, no rest, relief,
Only torturous breath, or kill!
I live!
But live in torture,
I die! no rest within my ceasing breath,
This world or the next, no relief, no peace,
Thou, Devil, only offers Death!
