I am slowly dying
swept along like the wind
in this endless solitude
In a place I love so much
my spirit longs to soar
yet I can't let go
Forced to wander down this lonely path
I walk the razor's edge of sanity
always in the shadows
There are things in me that are damaged
broken, I think, beyond repair
dreams crushed and no longer breathing
Stuck in this shadowed realm
I keep going
always wondering where it will end
I am not worth saving
my spirit's flames slowly fade
until only cold ashes will one day remain
Emotions, some long forgotten
scream through my mind
yet I am silent
All that is forgotten
is all that I am
until I will one day be no more
Release would be a mercy
yet I linger here day by day
not daring to hope
Unable to feel
locked inside my head
I will let it take me
There is no one to miss me
for there is no one that knows who I am
so none can stop me
I can't go yet
the solitude is not quite complete
but it is close
I try to breath
but the air denies me
until I am gasping
There is an infinite sadness
I carry with me
that no one sees
I try to drop the veil
to show who I am
but we all only see what we want to
I know not what others see
when they look at me
but I doubt it is real
Illusions are part of our reality
we all wear masks
pretending to be that which we are not
My mask has cracked
and there is only my true face
left to face the world with no protection
I silently await my fate
no longer trying to stop
that which has already begun
One day I will find release
until that day comes
I simply remain
An empty shell
of what could have been
without a chance of being reanimated
Love might have saved me once
but it was not love I recieved
though it was love I freely gave
The night is my companion
solitude my only friend
darkness shall be my final release
