What a way!

I am immortal,
I can not go away!
I can’t just leave,
I’m bound to stay.
Oh dear God!
I’m not allowed to get out or to get off.
I’ll get by, though,
Maybe one day He’ll let me go.
I am immortal
And no friends will last.
Their future will always be my past.
What a way to live,
What can I say?
I can’t just leave,
I’m bound to stay.
So if you’re sure you do not want me
You should not worry of what to say:
One day you’ll leave,
And I’ll just watch you go away.
