The Least I Can Do
 

I have tried for so long to do less and less. This is simply the least I can do. I give up here.

I have done the very least I can do for you. You are on your own now because I can do no less than this for you. If I could give you less than this I would do so happily. This is simply the least I can do.

Believe me, I know you want less form me than I am able to give to you, but what else can I withhold from you now? My restraint has its limits, you know, and cannot be made less than that which I offer to you today.

I am simply at the end of my rope. I can remove no further. Nothing is being given to you except that which I cannot bear to withhold. You must not forget about me.

If I should show you nothing, then you just might glimpse what you are without me. Perhaps you shall. This is simply the least I can do. Is anybody listening to me?
