In a Deep Sleep

Should I one day, In a deep sleep go, Not to wake up, Do not grieve over my departure, I wished it upon me. When in despair perhaps, While in deep sorrow, You and I never were, I ran away, yet you still chased. Nevertheless, I deserve non your emotions. I perceive peace in my destination, My present is misled; corrupted! Then in my absence, don't miss me. I would not have earned the feeling. Should I, in a deep sleep go not to wake, Do not accuse me of my departure. For even though you, You knew I wanted peace, in another realm; body. Understand me then, should the day come. Six feet under I'll be lain, A hundred miles you were from me A hundred miles in life. Yet my departure, In all fairness, I wished upon me.
