Fade Poem by Reba Marsh

It's time for me to fade,
the board was laid,
and the game was played,

It; s time for the final raid,
I shouldn't have stayed,

Feelings hid in the shade,
Now have been slayed,

Mistakes have been made,
Leaving me lost and afriad,

Realationships have been frayed,
severed bythe dullest blade,

Into the darkness I wade,
For to long this has been delayed,

Nothing left to trade,
far away I have strayed,

Questiong what the future forbade,
Our future intwined in a fine braid,

No one left to persaude,
All depts have been paid,

Me leaving has never been okayed,
But when have I ever obeyed,

Feelings so decayed,
I feel so betrayed,
My heart is a cold hard crimson piece of jade,
Thus it's time for me to fade
