Away I looked, so that I wouldn't see
As I wished for that moment I were blind,
That I could leave the memory behind,
And, maybe just for one last time, be free
What god would let these aberrations be
To drill incessantly in human minds
Exploiting tantalizing fears they find
To drive their victims to insanity?
I pray for mercy coming from Death's grasp,
As I can only hope Oblivion,
Delivering me with my final gasp
Permits for the nightmare to be undone;
It's to this glimmer that my soul must clasp,
For in the end, the darkness will have won.
