Sleep For An Eternity

I want to sleep for an eternity. Does that make me selfish? For not caring for the impact I may have, Or am I fine because I know the impact will be little. The emptiness inside me grows, As I feel the weight of being alone, No one seems to care or see. I want to disappear into the night, And let the darkness be my guide, For what's the point of carrying on, When no one seems to notice I'm gone. But is it selfish of me to think this way, To wish to slip into eternal sleep and stay, Or is it okay to feel this pain, And long for a love that feels in vain. The impact of my leaving may be small, But the thought of it still feels like a fall, For what about the people who might care, And the love that I could share.
