eternal slumber//gift
it would be a gift
to fall into
an eternal slumber
to feel nothing
all around
a cold
detached
body of matter
mattering no more
it would be a gift
to forget
for some memories hurt
some memories haunt
but yet
we remember
each time we awake
and the emptiness of space
collides with colour
in a cacophony
of chaos
and i allow myself
to dream
with my eyes
wide open
day after day
i tell myself
it would be a gift
to fall into
an eternal slumber
