The Time Has Come

The time has come
for me to say goodbye:
goodbye to everything I know,
the people who pretend to care
but are too concerned
by their own petty lives
to see the real world.

The world that we live in,
the one we perceive as a haven,
is really a burning
wasteland: hearts lie shattered,
souls hover around us, torn.
I don't want to know
that world.

I'd rather be
in my own secluded place.
A world with no vicious light,
no heartbreak, just black.
Cold, dark earth all around.
A grave, with nothing else but me.
Peace.
