Array ( [sid] => 66343 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fade Out [time] => 2004-10-06 14:56:54 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The air slips off of my tongue
Counting down the days of my end
Viewing my life through the glass
Too dark too see beyond
It shatters
Glass everywhere
Cutting through my thin layer
So thin it’s transparent
Everyone can see through me
There is nothing I can hide

The lies of loves tempt me
But are reflected by my pessimistic nature
It’s the only way I know how to be
I cling to negativity as a baby clings to its mother
Letting go would bring more pain
Then I would perish
Perhaps that would be easier
The easy way out

My beliefs are scattered
My heart is faint
My body erodes
My appetite is lost to the wind

Failing is hard
Trying only makes it worse
Slowly I’m turning back to how I once was

Fade Out

Topic: SadPoetry

The air slips off of my tongue
Counting down the days of my end
Viewing my life through the glass
Too dark too see beyond
It shatters
Glass everywhere
Cutting through my thin layer
So thin it’s transparent
Everyone can see through me
There is nothing I can hide

The lies of loves tempt me
But are reflected by my pessimistic nature
It’s the only way I know how to be
I cling to negativity as a baby clings to its mother
Letting go would bring more pain
Then I would perish
Perhaps that would be easier
The easy way out

My beliefs are scattered
My heart is faint
My body erodes
My appetite is lost to the wind

Failing is hard
Trying only makes it worse
Slowly I’m turning back to how I once was

Death is really well portrayed in the lines

Good poem-
But I do not think death is an answer to lost love if that is your meaning.
Sometimes love is not all you expect it to be.
I hope you do not feel that death is the only answer as there are so many other choices.
