Take it,
It is yours.
No use fighting it.
I have already given it.

Take it.
It was mine.
I can't keep it.
I have given it away.

Take it.
It is foolish.
I wish it wasn't.
There is no other way.

Take it.
Just for awhile.
Then,
Smash it.
Break it.
Shatter it.
Just don't leave it whole.
That is not how it is to be.

Take it.
Mess it up.
And never look back.

Sometimes it is better to get full use out of something, killing it in the process, than to try to save it and have it die in the end anyways.
