Drown Me.

 

Drown me, Drown me

in the solitude of a countryside

in the pain of the memories

of things I should have done

in the quietness that comes after

the setting of the sun.

 

Drown me in the unconsciousness

of a lazy mind that slumbers

in the summer heat

in the pain for the harm

inflicted unawares on someone dear

in he womb of a dusk that overcomes us

in the abyss of a night

that preceeds a death

that sets us free.
