fading heart

By thefairytaleheart

no i am not dead
i've only disappeared
if only i had the strength
to pull the fucking trigger
but i am not dead
sometimes i wonder what is living
in my head
i can hear him move
i can hear him breath
and if i do nothing
he's gonna come for me
so i keep on running
nothings going to stop me
one day ill remember
how i used to be
but now my compassion's gone and
there's nothing left of me
there's nothing i can do
everything is going wrong
are you feeling this way too
it's beyond blue
turning
into a purple bruise
burning
if only i could remember
how to forget
i used to know how but i
always regret
knowing you
you feel it too
my faded heart is far too gone
and i will soon be too.

    Wonderfully somber. I feel this way often, but can not express it such a realistic fashion (without soaking in metaphor) as you have done so nicely here.
