Fading Away

Fading Away

My heart started shrinking

Something in life has to give

Kindness turned out to be the smallest place that I had ever lived

One of the reasons I would do away with you

Is just for the peace

If you know me like you say

Then how could you be so blind to my logic

Pretending to love each other is tiring

So lets quit games and just stop

I was never really same as the others

Maybe that helped create the space

F**k your good intentions

I'm only interested in the evil that's actually taking place

You sycophantic suck-up

You hippocratic old fool

How can such a sharp object

End up as a blunt tool?

It takes a lot of self control for me to look at you

And to resist the urge to throttle you

And rid the world of one more fool

You probably tell yourself

That in some warped way what you're doing is right

And I want argue

Because you're not worth the fight

No love lost

But in all honesty, between us,

Was ever really much there?

You gave me bruises

Gave me lumps

And if not for my pen

I'd still be drowning in those dumps

The worst fear I have this world

Is one day I ever grow to be just like you

Don't know what I'd do

I'd rather die

Than resemble even the faintest shadow of you

"And if not for my pen
I'd still be drowning in those dumps"
The pen and paper had saved me many times. I enjoyed the poem. I wanted to know more. You touched on many subjects. Always a pleasure to read your powerful words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
