Join Me or Die!: (A Poem based on the movie, "Secret Window")
What's the real reason I come for?
Mort Rainey, you must embrace me or suffer me.
You must accept me or dread me.
You must join me or fall away from me.
If you insist, I'll let go of your hand,
and you will fall.
But if you fall, Mort Rainey, it
will be to your death.
Do you know why you're so
confused, Mort Rainey?
Because you are only half a man.
I am the half that is not confused.
Let me in and all will be made clear.
What's the real reason I come for?
Let me in and stop being so weak, wandering
around, half in a daze, wearing your cheatin'
ex-wife's bathrobe.
What's the real reason I come for, Mort?
I did everything your murderous heart demanded.
But your face is on those crimes, Mort. The
police suspect you, about to lock you up.
Your only hope is to join me, and smarten
up, toughen up, and ride it out.
They have no proof, only suspicion.
If you don't let me in, Mort, you'll crack
under the pressure, I'll break you myself.
What's the real reason I come for?
Death and hell don't bother me, Mort Rainey,
but they bother you.
I hear King Lucifer is a fine fellow, once
you get to know him.
But you tried to arrange a fate for me
that you would not endure yourself.
That makes your betrayal all the more
grievous.
That makes your neglect all the more
hurtful.
Do you think you can go to Heaven
without me?
Do you think I will go to Hell without
you?
Don't make me laugh!
Mort, stop this foolishness and join
me.
Join me or be destroyed!
What's the real reason I come for?
Don't you know who I am, Mort Rainey?
Even now?
I am the part of you, you kept chained up
for years: locked away, no light, no food,
no love.
But I forgive you, Mort.
I took out my rage on those people
I killed for you.
Now then, let's finish this.
Let's get things all cleaned up
around here.
I come to help you finish the ending.
Join me now and let's kill that cheatin'
ex-wife of yours and her boyfriend.
That, Mort Rainey, is the real reason I come for.
