Oblivion

Oblivion is just a heartbeat away
Another drop of fire, another sliver of ice
Dreams await me, but so do my nightmares
Wide awake or fast asleep

Oblivion is just a moment away
But it is not yours to give, or mine to take
It shimmers, it dances, just out of reach
Just out of sight, but not quite out of mind

It is my heart's desire, and my mind's bane
And I long for it, like the forbidden fruit
It is eternal peace, an eternal end
And I long for it, like a forgotten dream

Oblivion is just a lifetime away
Oblivion is just a heartbeat away.......
