Withering

by Some Random Human   Aug 20, 2008


I've been waiting here so long,
praying that you'd come back,
wishing you'd return,
and stop this heart attack,
I've been dying inside,
losing who I am,
I've been falling so far,
with no place to land,

I'm pretending,
I'm not defending,
just slithering,
I'm...withering,

Not sure how much more,
how much more I can take,
but I'm thinking soon,
I just might break,
'cause this weight you bring,
this pain you give,
is making me,
not want to live,

I'm pretending,
I'm not descending,
just slithering,
I'm...withering,

After all of this pain,
you'd think I'd give up,
but with each passing day,
I still love you as much,
as the first day I fell,
when your eyes met mine,
and though you're long gone,
you're my lady, divine,

And I,
I'm just pretending,
I'm not depending,
but I'm just slithering,
I'm...withering...away...
