Faded

By Wiccad

 I see through watery eyes
Straining to find clarity
Everything sad and hopeless

My memories are fading
These happy lines on my face 
All but disapeared

All is quiet and numbing
The street lights are humming
A darkness has taken me

Cloaking me from normality
All those around me can see
I have lost myself to it

Painful and hurting
My days are torture
My nights filled with grief

My partner lie sleeping
I hide in my closet weeping
Tearing at my soul

Like ten thousand fingers
They pull and scratch at me
I want to let them have me

But the reaping never comes
There is no release
I am meant to stay here

To live with this pain
To live in this  hole 
To live in this lie

Until I grow old
