Slipping into oblivion with myself,

with the robe of anonymity covering

all those sins sticking to me like leeches.

How different does it feel to sink deep

into the unknown territory down below.

No reason to try and stay afloat anymore

the surface is no more the same.

The weeds that try to bind me with their

tentacles creeping up from beneath

will keep me safe from the prying eyes.

I will find my sanctuary there.

The urge to live overground has vanished

long ago as the cold touch seeped in

through the pores of my heart.

I have started liking this dark abode now

without the hint of light , so much black.

Those of you who may have tried hard

to offer a lifeline and let me redeem,

thank you for all your misplaced trust

My road to perdition remained unwalked,

I chose to be with the shadows.
