o is for oblivion.
at night I lie awake
watching you sleep beside me
listening to you breathing
wondering what you’re dreaming
I think of what will be
when I’ve slipped away from you
the moment I must move on
deep into oblivion
I hope our destined love
will remain inside your heart
warming you eternally
calming your uncertainty
maybe you’ll awaken
rest your hand where I once slept
then rise and find me in the night
alive only in blue moonlight

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing… Repeatedly… For days on end. Below is the Live on SNL version. God, I love it.
If you’d like to hear the original recorded version of the song, you can find it HERE.

Planning?!? Are you gonna end up on Dateline?? LOL

Not if I plan carefully, lol! No, it’s more like a general life plan — that doesn’t really sound any better, does it? Maybe I’m just hopeful? 🙂

I love this band! I’m guessing you would have heard the song “Pompeii”… It was their first song out there and was quite popular.
And thank you for your lovely compliment! 🙂

Ironically, Pompeii is my “P” for tomorrow but I wasn’t going to use the song, I have some photos instead. And you are most welcome!

Thanks! I love that song… my family was annoyed with me for a long time because I kept putting it on repeat. I’m pretty sure they all wanted to punch me… especially when I did it in the car so there was no escape. 😀

We all have that one song that resonates…and we wear it the fuck out! 😃

Definitely. I do it often… eventually switch songs… and start all over again with that one. Amazingly, I rarely get sick of the song myself… I just find another and slowly phase the first one out… 😀

I’m the same way. I change it about every week or two. But they will always remain the rotation. 🙂

This is one of your best. Bravo. Like your choice of O word. I wasn’t expecting that one. I know you usually don’t so dark, but this was a bit haunting. Good work.

Thank you. I had a few other options I was considering for O. (I’m sure you can guess at least one of them…) But this just worked for me… with the picture and maybe especially the song.

I didn’t think anyone would dare use the Big O. Yes, you made the right choice.

I went from having nothing in mind for O to having about 20 words… but it was pretty easy to cross some off that list… LOL
