Fading (version 2)

by Lindsay   Feb 14, 2007


I go through my day
Fading, fading
Nobody notices me
Slowly disappearing

I wander the halls
Streets and houses
Walking through walls
Not caring of my destination

My friends and family
Can not really see
They just see me
As fine as can be

As I smile and walk away
Nobody notices the tear sliding down my face
Nobody can see the hurt that I feel
Just the fake smile they think is real

If it were not for the fact that I know the truth
I would probably believe the lie myself
But the truth is
He is the reason I am fading away

He caused me this pain and grief
All the struggle I’ve gone through
I thought he loved me
The way I loved him

He told me the truth
The horrible truth
The truth shattered what I thought real
Only to find my dream on the cold hard floor

At first I thought all was lost
That I’d never find another
That is the cost
Of trying to lover a significant other

Finally I began to give up
I knew he would never return
I knew I was happier without him
That another even better would eventually come my way

I sit in my usual place
And stare into his face
He sits on the other side
Away from everything in his own little space

Only this is
I do not really care what he does
As long as he leaves me alone
In my state of depression where he left me

I may have covered up my feelings
To try to fool others
To show people that I was fine
To help them with their problems before mine

My depression built up inside
And would occasionally leak
Not only did I begin to suffer profusely
But my friends began to see it to

I wanted to know what love truly felt like
Instead of the loneliness I felt in my hollow shell
I felt as if my breath was growing shorter and shorter
As the crimson pool around me grew bigger and bigger

It was not until you came along
And healed my wounds
All it took was one dance
And a hug back

He may have left me broken and shattered
In the unbearable depression
But it was you who came along
And picked up my broken heart

Even the smallest bit of affection
Is enough to cheer me
Because I know
That you have plenty to give
