Oblivion

OBLIVION
Your head is dead a chamber vast and void
and nothing's what you think on anymore
forgotten are all things you once enjoyed
and are replaced by life; the constant bore

your brain's been drained, you sit alone and stare
all hope's run out, your heart is solid stone
from night to day and day to night it's there
the wish to be forgotten and alone.

You think and sink into oblivion
not caring if you fade into the sky,
once innocent, your life's become your sin
and no one knows where you have gone to die.

Hallucinating for one friend who'll stay,
You see a face, then watch it fade away.
