You Fade Away Poem by Jennifer Peckins

Look into my eyes
Stare at my soul
Deep past the lies
Past everything cold
Feel the touch of my lips
So soft on your skin
Smooth on your fingertips
Quietly whispering my sins
As the wind sings songs
You fade away
Just like dust in fog
Something you can’t see will never stay
But I remember your stare
As I dropp to the floor
Slipping into another nightmare
Screaming for the one I adore
Ever so silently I shout
Muted by my fear
Crawling; begging for a way out
Wondering “why the f***” no one’s near
So I scratch at the walls
Thinking things will be better when I leave
My world used to crumble and fall
Now I’m trapped; there’s too much pain to conceive
Please love me how I want
I’ll give you everything I can
I’m sick of the dreams you haunt
And chasing you every time you ran
