"Comprehension Depletion"

All that he can see

is the hand in front of his face

Waving back and forth.    

Nothing working... nothing moving.

All around him it's dark and confusing  

Can't even breathe, never feels the need.    

All things around him are blacking out

all from lack of air in his mouth.  

Pieces falling all around, 

without even touching the ground.   

Never sleeping. but never waking.

fainting slowly at each day's brake.   

Losing consciousness so fast, all life and more is dead

before crashing into the pillows on the bed

Hopes and dreams themselves are true,

but without any time, nothing works.    

Slowing down and stopping now.

I knew that'd someday end.    

I never thought It'd be so soon..

but  I guess that I'll have to deal...

It's not my fault,

but, you are suffocating me...  

I didn't ask for this

like you always say I did.

Or maybe, I did..

But I still don't feel the will.

I don't have much time left

although you would know that...if anyone would...

Goodbye, My tears can't soften you..

and, maybe nothing will...  

But, in any case there isn't  much that I can do..

So i must take my chance to  leave..   

The last word I said to you,

It was once: "understand"..

And it will be, again...

Because I don't understand.
