...slowly...fading...

By KittyStryker

...slowly...fading...

sometimes...
when the sun is low
and the heart
follows suit

i sit alone
cold
and wonder
if i am just
a flicker
before
the
fall

i feel myself
fading
soft and slow

like a photograph
i wither
and grow
brittle
grey

slowly
i see myself

fading

...away...

    Great piece, I liked the way you lined the words up along each side and then inbetween the slides making it look like a strip of old film at first glance. You have the artistic eye.
