Let me disappear off these mortal maps
and become a citizen of the void.
Let me revel in the peace of decay,
as my bones lay in the comforting embrace
of the silent earth.
Let the stars steal the light
from my eyes
so that, even in my absence,
I can still guide you home.
Let me fall brokenly upon death's door
and leave nothing but a disintegrating stone
to claim my ashes.
I don't care how steep the price,
please, just
let me leave and
don't ask me to come back.

Let me disappear off these mortal maps
and become a citizen of the void.
Let me revel in the peace of decay,
as my bones lay in the comforting embrace
of the silent earth.
Let the stars steal the light
from my eyes
so that, even in my absence,
I can still guide you home.
Let me fall brokenly upon death's door
and leave nothing but a disintegrating stone
to claim my ashes.
I don't care how steep the price,
please, just
let me leave and
don't ask me to come back.
