20150714: All I want is oblivion

All I want is oblivion 
The quietness beckons 
The cool nothingness
Tempts me with tendrils 
That entwine my thoughts 
So nought else prevails 

I am too weak for this world
I'm not made for the role
Of living here and now
I have never seen a need 
For pain and misery in my life
As a prerequisite of living 

Why must I continue
When the quiet of nothingness
A cessation of misery
Calls and beckons to me?
Why can't you let me go,
I don't want to stay 

All that keeps me here
All that ties me here 
Keeps me from going
Joining oblivion 
Seeking nothingness
Is you.  

I love you and you love me
That is plain to see
And it is very hard to be 
The cause of any misery
And until I revoke my vow
To stay for your sake,
You will forever want to know -
What if I cannot bear to stay?

My love for you sees your pain
Seeing my pain
Your distress for me is clear 
So as I hold you dear
I will endeavour to continue my life
So that yours can be happy.
