Petrified

Say goodbye, pick up your valise and go -

No point prolonging this agony.

If it is to be done, then do it now

Don't let the onus all rest on me.



I had such hopes and foolish desires -

Thought I saw 'forever' in your eyes.

The disillusionment is killing me.

I'm a naive fool I realize.



Let no one again tempt me to emerge

From my distant refuge of cold stone.

I don't seem to have a regulator-

It's best for me to exist alone



And the process has already started -

The numbing begins from inside out

The shut-down will be in the near future

With the outcome beyond any doubt.
