Darkness Becomes You

Fearing oblivion is not like dying you can predict it But oblivion? It’s mercurial Just like the fog It surrounds you until you can’t see Oblivion becomes you Until you can’t think This phobia Is just like the verdict Of hell and heaven Where you don’t know Whether you will get sapphires Or burn in fire Or frost in ices Fearing oblivion is wearing an invisible cloak Or looking at a lonely forte Neither will tell you What they hold Until you just pick up the courage To yourself behold You fear drowning Like you fear oblivion both surround you in a labyrinth both offer endless depths and heights but you aren’t offered answers until you tire yourself down and eternally fade in to dark oblivion To find answers to queries yourself in an inevitable helplessness
