Fade Away

I knew better
and though I am here for now
slowly, I fade a little more each day


with such a shady past I
don't blame you for turning
me away

I've been to places that never
should exist
I've seen pain done to others
blood flowing from wrists

to know my past is to know
fear the shadows of my days
the terrors at night
the reason I stay among the shadows

The horrors of the past
will not leave alone
wish that I was given
a heart of stone

such fear would falter
if there were not pain to keep it strong
and that...
that is where you came along.

from our pasts we understood
more than some should ever know
you pulled me to safety
and yet...I let go

I have become someone
I no longer care to know
bruised, beaten down and
Jaded
the answer is simple
has been there all along

piece by piece
a lil more every day
I will be but a memory
as I slowly fade away

There is only now. The past had it's chance, the future hasn't yet. There is only now, and here you are. 10

the way i live my life...okay with being just a memory, not strong enough to stick around and see what my actions have won me, or lost me, better to love and say goodbye....enjoyed this poem very much, thank you for sharing

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
