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…
