FADING AWAY

Tuesday, April 3, 2007

I walk on this dessert, I walk alone

I bleed for who I am, I feel so torn

My throat is dry, heart weak

I look up at the sky, what do I seek?

Birds don't fly, people don't talk

I take another step, with my tears I walk

Alas! I see a shadow, I wear a smile

Following it in hope, I walk a mile

I talk to it, I cry and laugh

As I try to hold it, I cut it in half

I see the sun, these tears still flow

Awe- struck by his evanescent glow

I fall to my knee, I fall too hard

The shadow becomes me, becomes my eternal guard.
