Let me slip away

Let me disappear in silence

Let me blow away like torn paper until

There’s nothing but a whisper to remember me by

Let me go when I go

Let me sink with no sound

Let me soak deep in the welcoming earth and lie

Beneath the soil for the rest of days

Let me float

Let me fade

Let me blink out like a dead star

A billion miles from nowhere

Freezing in nothing

Unseen

Unheard

Unmourned

Let me let go

Let me dwindle and diminish

Let me shrink and fold

Let me crumble and crumple and curl

Let me vanish

Let me slip away

Let me be forgotten
