Oblivion

A love lost, a love gone
That walks away without looking back
I am forgotten
Stuck in the endless dark
When I’m with them a light shines in me
And without, I dim everything near
Without them I’m nothing
Without them I’m no one
I turn the colours to black and white
And scream at my reflection
With no love or light
Everything seems blue
My happiness stolen by disease
My hope crushed by death
Only oblivion can save me now
The white circles of light
First one, then two, then three
Bringing about my last wish
For without my love, my treasure, my soul mate
I am empty and forever alone
