Fade

March 12, 2010

I begin to fade
even though my debt is paid
I gave my life to you
and all my value,too

Pull me back even if my voice lacks
My head is like a huge mound
and it seems as though I have no sound

I said I'd never tell a soul
but now my heart weaves a hole
I heave a sigh
for I'm beginning to die

I want you here with me
even if you want to leave me be
Haven't I been found?
or maybe I'm still bound

I begin to fall
but i lean into the wall
Every time I want to weep
I begin to seep

Never do I want to sink
that's why I have this link
When I begin to do so
at least i have my pretty bow

Leave me alone
and I may come home
or I may visit Rome
I shouldn't be writing this poem
for you it'll be

Never do I want to see you
nor will I ask you who
