I am breathless, and each gasp of air was not well spent. 

I'd prefer it, if I could just disappear.
If I could shut my eyes to your bruising melodies,
and slowly feel the pores of my skin drift away,
I'll unravel the strings of my heart just to send them flying
into the Unknown; as long as it is pitch black,
and empty.
I haven't felt safe in a while,
I have lost the sense of comfort I once discovered in the security of knowing.
So... why not disappear?

Though, I beg of you...
I'd much rather gain the ability to hope
that you will allow me to escape, with you,
before I manifest into the intangible darkness of the unknown.
That, maybe... just maybe, you will smell my fear and sense my grief,
& you'll take me by my fingertips, by the ends of my hair;
and you'll make sure I never have to return.

I'll go anywhere with you, so
Take me away, but only if you promise to join me.
