Awakened by love, is the only time it comes out,
trying to break free from that evil of my own human flesh.
Escapes when love fills in, but my body is not satisfied;
it wants my soul back.
So this is why I wait until the end of time,
until I say goodbye
and goodbye to my own human skin.

The author's comments:
In this piece, it signifies how people or even I at some point in my life that I felt that I could not carry on. We feel sometimes that death is the only answer, but love is what revives us. Towards the end of the poem, it signifies the last day of your life, either your death or revelation. Which ever comes first.
