I just want the darkness to swallow me,
so I don't have to feel.
I just want to become faded in the background,
so I won't be remembered.
I just want the tide of night to take me,
so I can sleep without dreams.
I just want to sit alone,
so no one has to worry about me.
I just want to disappear
from this life,
and vanish without a trace.
I want to be forgotten,
so I will not cause pain.
I want to be discarded,
so I don't leave my mark on anyone.
I just want to be
alone
so I cannot hurt anyone.
I don't want to cause anyone any pain
I don't want to cause anyone to worry
I don't want to be me anymore.
I just want to darkness to swallow me,
so I can finally be free.
