Poetry! Fade me and Cry
I. The Slow Descent (Verse 1)
The world contracts, a shrinking sphere, Walls closing in, erasing cheer. Sunlight, once vibrant, dims its hold, Apathy's cloak unfolds.
Verse 2
Laughter, a ghost of memories past, Replaced by echoes, shadows cast. Tears welling up, a stagnant tide, Emotions numb, nowhere to hide.
Verse 3
The vibrant tapestry of life, its hues, Now bleeds to grey, a mournful ruse. Each passing day, a weary sigh, A longing whispers, "Let me die."
Verse 4
The spark that danced within my soul, Flickers and fades, losing control. Willpower wanes, a fading ember, Drowning in sorrow, I remember...
Verse 5
A time when joy filled every breath, When dreams took flight, defying death. Now lost in darkness, I confess, Aching for solace, an emptiness.
II. The Haunting Melody (Verse 6)
Whispers of the past, a haunting tune, Echoes of laughter beneath the moon. Faces I cherished, voices so dear, Vanish like smoke, a phantom's cheer.
Verse 7
Love's tender touch, a distant dream, Replaced by shadows, a lonely scream. Broken promises, a symphony of pain, Scars etched deep, etched in the rain.
Verse 8
Betrayal's sting, a serpent's bite, Poisoning trust, stealing the light. Hope, once a beacon, dims its flame, Leaving behind only sorrow's name.
Verse 9
The weight of burdens, a crushing tide, Dragging me down, nowhere to hide. Yearning for escape, a desperate plea, To fade from existence, eternally.
Verse 10
Oh, to rewind time's relentless hand, Erase the wreckage, rebuild the sand. But time marches on, a relentless beat, Leaving me stranded in sorrow's street.
III. The Discordant Cry (Verse 11)
A primal scream, a silent roar, Bottled emotions, can't take it anymore. Tears cascade, a cleansing rain, Washing away the layers of pain.
Verse 12
Anger ignites, a burning pyre, Consuming doubts, a fierce desire. To fight against the fading light, To reclaim my strength, with all my might.
Verse 13
But anger wanes, replaced by despair, The burden of grief, too much to bear. A silent plea in the dead of night, "Please, let me fade away from this fight."
Verse 14
The world a blur, a distorted view, Lost in a maze, with no way through. Reasoning falters, logic takes flight, Consumed by darkness, in the fading light.
Verse 15
Is there a light at the end of this tunnel? Or just an abyss, a never-ending rumble? A single voice whispers, faint but true, "There's hope yet, my dear, there's still something in you."
IV. The Fragile Hope (Verse 16)
A flicker ignites, a spark so small, A tiny ember, defying the fall. A memory surfaces, a cherished scene, A reminder of strength, of what has been.
Verse 17
Love's gentle touch, a whisper of grace, A smile, a hand reaching out in this space. Kindness received, a lifeline thrown, Pulling me back from the darkness unknown.
Verse 18
The will to survive, a fragile bloom, Pushing through cracks in the desolate room. One step at a time, a path unclear, But a flicker of hope, banishing fear.
Verse 19
The journey ahead, arduous and long, But the will to fight, finally grows strong. Tears still may fall, a cleansing flow, But within those tears, a seed starts to grow.
Verse 20
A seed of resilience, a promise to strive, To reclaim my life, and learn to thrive. The scars may remain, a constant reminder, But I won't let them define me, the fighter, the survivor.
