Letting You Fade
It was a couple of years ago,
And I didn’t know where I was meant to go;
Tears fell from me every day,
Every day felt cold and gray.
Dark clouds slowly disappeared,
And heaven’s light at last appeared.
You found me drowning in my tears,
You saw me wandering through my fears.
It felt like bliss when you carried me,
And all my wounds began to heal;
For years, I had felt incomplete,
Untouched by love, by warmth, by heat.
Then suddenly, my spirit fell,
My human colors drained away;
My soul grew dry like autumn leaves,
Your love sank deep and slipped away.
My lungs forgot the air they knew,
My veins went numb, devoid of feeling;
And I was gone without a trace,
Buried deep in silent grieving.
It took a lifetime to forget your name,
And years to quiet all the pain;
Now what remains, I hold it close,
A fragile peace I chose to claim.
