For Oblivion

(Inspired by Joe Bonamassa's "Midnight Hours") Oh, how I hate when sunlight has fled, Misery visits as I lie in bed. I simply can’t sleep. I just feel so bad. By midnight’s hour I’m sadder than sad. The clock keeps on ticking and louder it seems as I keep wishing to fall into dreams Chorus: Thoughts of you swirling and swirling around. Where can the sweetness of comfort be found? I need to forget you. I’m coming undone. I beg and I beg for Oblivion. Oh to just dream this sadness away. Instead with moroseness the whole night I stay. If I could only get some shut-eye. I’m feeling so blue I just want to die. This dirge in the darkness keeps coming to me. Please let me escape my reality. Chorus: Thoughts of you swirling and swirling around. Where can the sweetness of comfort be found? I need to forget you. I’m coming undone. I beg and I beg for Oblivion. Oblivion take me, take me away. Oh, for oblivion each night I pray (repeat last two lines till end of song) May 18, 2023 For Joe Bonamassa Inspiration 5 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Robert James Liguori
