Withering Away.

by Amber   Feb 16, 2009


My strength is fading fast, Disappearing with ever salty tear.
I can't take it much longer, I know I am going to fade dear.
Fade away to nothing once this weakness eats at my heart.
At this moment I can feel it creeping in me tearing me apart.

I... I need to stop the tears, thats what feeds it, but they won't quit.
If only I could fight it be strong like I used to be, but it wont permit.
It's finally getting to me. I am an emotional wreck but can't bounce back.
I give it my all to stop crying but its on the prowl and ready to attack.

I fall to my knees and weep, the tears hit my chest. It feels like I'm burning.
I thrash about, I feel as if my whole body is against me, turning.
The burning sensation enters my heart. Slowing my heart rate.
I feel as if my tears are slowly consuming me like I was bait.

It's like my tears conspired against me, slowly taking my strength away.
They waited until I was to weak to fight back, they waited for this day.
More tears lashed angrily, eating away my heart, slowing my breath.
Finally the tears stop, and so does my body, as slowly something crept up, death.

    Wow this was a very strong an emotional piece...I liked it quite a lot actually and I wish that I could say how much this piece made me feel but I am limited on time..sadly...So i will say something short and sweet.

    "It's like my tears conspired against me, slowly taking my strength away.
    They waited until I was to weak to fight back, they waited for this day."
