Sleep (Forever)

I close my eyes tonight
and gaze into the darkness
Death overcomes me and
I merge into emptiness forever

Lonely blissful solitude
Bereft of silly emotions
like love and sadness
and yearning and hate

Time stands still - of course
it was always just the illusive creation
of some human who had the hubris
to believe he controlled his fate

I'm nothing, life is nothing, in the end
Life doesn't matter & neither do I
One star glowing in an infinite universe
has no power to make a difference

I close my eyes tonight
and fall into the darkness
One star dims to a black hole,
the universe goes on pulsing.
