Oblivion Poem by Robin Bennett

Love is so short, while oblivion is so very long,
My head cradled softly in tune with my sad song.
I find myself all alone is this dismal crowded place,
Walls caving in on me now; free me from this space.

I hear the whisper of gentle winds; far away and taunting me-
Seeking a pardon for my mistakes in life; somehow set me free.
Truth be told, when the glass begins to break and shatter,
My heart follows, in tune with the cadence of the matter.

Sometimes love is nothing more than a snake in the grass,
Other times, it's pure and glows with the beauty of stained glass.
At times life grants you a once in a lifetime shot at love,
Just as easy, life can show you heartache you never dreamed of.

Never leave this life of yours dreaming of an answer to ' what if? '
Do not dare tempt fate by trying to cling to the edge of a cliff-
Spend each day as if it is your last; take time to open up to say,
I love you to each and everyone that you care about each day.
