Fade Away

 

The delightful hope of a life makes me hope and write,

Such perfection despite rejection would be one I’d like.

And true as it may be, I’ve traveled this road many times,

I'm still uncertain why I can’t recognize these cracked lines.

As I kick the gravel under my feet, I do not stop and ponder,

I just stray away from stability into precariousness I wander.

So familiar yet so vague, everything ends the same,

But in the end it’s the difference that keeps me abandoned in the rain.

Be it the same pain, yet not the same way,

Be it I’m still slain; same time just different day.

And yet I still cry out, as if someone is there,

Yes I still hope to receive an answer to that prayer.

But why? My might and pride is enough to stand in stride,

Is my masculinity and manliness  not enough that my thoughts should hide?

NO!!!!! Be it as it may, rather you believe me or not,

It’s that me not being with you, you’re all I’ve got.

This feeling of alienation has me gripped in fear,

Rejection and dejection has isolated my tears.

Yes, I’m accustom to it for I have created it,

And it too has created in me what you see, I’ll admit.

But all that you know and all that you see,

Is not fully who I am just who I’ve chosen to be.

Why? It is because I can’t share all of me,

Cause if I do I’m not sure if who I will be.

To you, even to me, my soul searches on,

And I am aware that one day you will have to belong.

To someone else, for me you cannot coexist eternally,

For your ways have chosen to overlook your passion and love for me.

And so as it is, choose now your way,

Please don't waist my time if you do not plan to stay.

Do not feel mad or get upset, nor disgruntled nor pissed,

We both knew that one day it would have to come down to this.

So as my voice gets softer, listen close to what I say,

Never forget my love, I love you just watch me fade away.

i think you are an ambitious writer and a capable one too. "Please don't waist my time if you do not plan to stay." is it waste?
