Poetry about someone I held onto for way too long.

You kissed me, long ago, kissed me to life

Your words held me up tall

Now I’m in danger of sinking

Sinking back into it all

I saw happiness, joy and happiness were in your eyes

It hurt to admit but

You were just too pleased to say goodbye

I’m falling and I’m fading

Numb and cold, you run from me

Full of anger and hate

You don’t want me to see

No more smiles and happy laughter

Once, I saw a story in you

And now – no more ever after

I can’t be here, time and time again

Seeing you, begging for you

How can you sit with me and pretend

And not want to fade away?

You’re lying to me now, lying just to get away

With each lie, I think I’ll fall

It adds to the danger of sinking

Sinking back into it all

I hear hatred, vindictive hatred come from your voice

I’m ready to admit that

Lying to myself only adds to that noise

It’s time to give in – I’ve fallen and I’ve faded

Numb and cold, you run from me

Full of anger and hate

You don’t want me to see

No more smiles and happy laughter

Once, I saw a story in you

And now – no more ever after

I can’t be here, time and time again

Seeing you, begging for you

How can you sit with me and pretend

And not want to fade away?

I’ve fallen

Fallen from the heaven you promised

I’ve faded

Faded into this man that you’ve used

Dark angel of my dreams

I’ve been cut, I’m bleeding

No one can fly with broken wings

Don’t you want to fade away?

Numb and cold, you run from me

Full of anger and hate

You don’t want me to see

No more smiles and happy laughter

Once, I saw a story in you

And now – no more ever after

I can’t be here, time and time again

Seeing you, begging for you

How dare you sit with me and pretend

I want you to go, just fade away

Fly away from me one final time

But leave my heart alone

Go away and I’ll be fine

It will not fade away…
