Gift of Death

Thank you for living the life I gave you.
A life you never asked for.
A life you never wanted.
Had no choice but to live it.
Thank you.

Well done.
You bore the burden/gift.
So many years.

I must reward you,
With a prize many envy, but are too ashamed to ask for.
You don't have to ask, I know you want it.
A reward for all your troubles.
To make it worthwhile.

You need not hold my breath for me any second longer.
You can give it back now.
You're free.
Breathe no more.
