I Beseech You

Oskar

I beseech you for help,
but still you turn away from me,
everything dear to me,
taken by the Reaper of Souls,
my love awaits me across the River Styx,
Charon refuses my payment,
one made with the blood of my wrists,
and so I beseech you,
Deliverer of the Dead,
I implore you to take me,
place me beside her once more.
