If I must remain here
let me be invisible
unseen, unheard by all who live
a whisper in the dying ears of those with fear
bringing assurance that this is it
no longer shall they suffer from torment and guilt

If I must remain here
let me be not needed
drifting through life with no purpose
unconnected from everyone with a soul
let there be no ties that bind me down here
fading from life as we speak

If I must remain here
let me be sightless
a black void should be all I know
hopeless and endless; let it consume me
eating my soul and filling its space with tar
let it take away all I know.
