the final letter

May 1927

Blanche,

By now the monster, my true self will have taken over and I will be gone. George Bernard Shaw once wrote:
           " there are two tragedies in life, one is gaining your hearts desire and the other is losing it".
 I have loved and I have lost, there is nothing left for me now.
My watch ticks.

I sit here under a rainbow - It used to be a thing of magic and wonder. Now I see no good and in fact may even despise the rainbow. The true me is here and I can't hide from it, but I need to.
My watch ticks.

You used to be the light in me, but not anymore. How naive I was back then, thinking that was love. well love doesn't exist. We're brought up with fairy tales, hope, happily ever after, but it never really happens. That illusion has now shattered in my mind.
My watch ticks.

I am in a constant eclipse - all hope, light and life has gone. There is nothing left for me now.
My watch stops ticking.
