Death is not what you think of an eternal sleep. Its eternal and has no ending. The only time we're given the time of rest is this time that we are here on Earth breathing.

Don't kill it. You're just taking away its freedom of rest.

Relinquishing me is not enough
Abandoning me in the crisp of the night is not enough
Making me bleed is not enough
But trying to kill me is enough
Why you ask? Because you're taking away the rest I long to hold.
