Faded
I'm faded.
I'm faded like an echo.
I'm faded like their screams.
I'm faded like the rusted blood-
on a knife that never gleams.
I'm faded.
I'm faded like the bruises,
I'm faded like the breath.
Faded like the high kid in class-
Zoned out from all the rest.
I'm faded.
I'm faded expression,
of worn soles.
That walked and trudged;
down these halls.
I'm faded like a love that's lost.
I'm faded like the window;
that's covered in thick frost.
I'm faded like the love letters;
they sent me long ago.
I'm faded like the relationships,
that were let go.
I'm faded like you.
I'm faded like me.
The worn down tendons of who I thought I could be.
I'm not on drugs,
I'm not high.
I'm just faded.
Fading while still alive.
I'm faded like an echo.
I'm faded like their screams.
I'm faded like the rusted blood-
on a knife that never gleams.
I'm faded.
I'm faded like the bruises,
I'm faded like the breath.
Faded like the high kid in class-
Zoned out from all the rest.
I'm faded.
I'm faded expression,
of worn soles.
That walked and trudged;
down these halls.
I'm faded like a love that's lost.
I'm faded like the window;
that's covered in thick frost.
I'm faded like the love letters;
they sent me long ago.
I'm faded like the relationships,
that were let go.
I'm faded like you.
I'm faded like me.
The worn down tendons of who I thought I could be.
I'm not on drugs,
I'm not high.
I'm just faded.
Fading while still alive.
