I Fade

At some point we all must think about this...I just put it into words.

I watch them;

Carefree and young,

A phantom of what I used to be-

But cannot ever be again.

 

They smile and laugh;

I cry and barf.

For, I realize how much I’ve grown

Inside, and how much less

I have become.

 

I watch them,

As numb as the frost on the sill;

And the clock ticks down

The hours till

My ultimate demise.
