I am a sad song.
I am darkness.
I am age.
I stand at the cusp of the void, waiting.
No expectations.
No regrets.
Only transition.

I am a sad song.
I have no release.
The words, the lyrics, bind me and hold me.
I cannot be free of them.
They fill me with a darkness that is inescapable.
Age precludes any hope of rescue.
My only hope is to become one with the void, completely nothing.

I do not fear death.
Death is a physical process.
Death is foolishness.
This is something more.
Emptiness.
Nothingness.
Becoming one with the darkness.
This is something beyond death.
This does not wait for death.
This is becoming the void.

I am a sad song.
The words and music lure me towards the edge.
I want to follow them.
I want to fall.
I want to be embraced by the nothingness.
I want to be nothing.
I am darkness.
I am age.
I am at the edge.
And I want to fall.
