Fade Out

There’s too much light in my eyes
I saw the grass turn grey with lonely
It’s black outside again
Your weary head hit the floor
I tried to catch your smile
You kept on falling, falling.
Why do you waiver on a knife, tripping fast
Until you’re fading, fading, fading out
I saw your walls collapse to dust
Your silent screams
I’m fading
I wish I could deflect the blows
That steal your light, send you falling
Come inside, be warmed
You disappeared through the door
Left only words
Always denying, lying
Illuminate the days when we were children dancing
Out wild laughter explodes into the sky
Look, no hands!
Jump! I’ll catch you
We are free
I missed your call yesterday
Your voice, barely there, said
I’m fading, fading, fading out
Wipe your past from today
Start again
Friend, don’t fade away.
