Fading Away- A poem about breaking apart
Fading Away- A poem about feeling defeated
Fading Away
I’m the crack between the lines
That spec of hope in full decline
A broken moment’s withheld kiss
That turns your head to darker tides
It’s theses times you tend to think
Your life’s a chain of broken links
And it’s in the shadows that lie the truth
That rescue you with autumn air
So taste the sweet poisoned despair
Let it linger; always there
Cause tomorrow may seem days away
But holding your breath won’t bring it sooner
And I just can’t seem to take it
The weight evolves to something more
That leaves me laying; a broken soul
A broken man that seeks control
So give me a whisper of hope
In exchange for a lifetime of dreams
Cause the days keep seeming short to me
And this place I am supposed to be
Is clouded by fog; dancing with eternity
Cause I am that cancer; that start to an end
A wound that opens never to mend
So take it in; see me in a clear way
Cause I’m holding my breath and fading away
