Oblivion

By: Lauren McGrath

Go away, and leave me be

Let me rest eternally

Shroud myself in darkness

Where I can never be hurt

Close my eyes and sigh

As I slip slowly away

Settle in the emptiness

I’ve made for myself

An emptiness that cannot be filled

Let me wash away the feelings

The tides of emotion slowly turn to calm

As I happily embrace my comforting lies

Please leave me be, for now and ever

As I sink slowly into oblivion
