You do not see me - I've seen the world reflected in your distant eyes. You do not feel me - clenched around your heart beating fast as humming birds. You do not speak me - out in the night, thin in the dark like an empty oath. You do not find me - in the sky, sea, city, trees where my mind wanders. You do not touch me - behind my eyes, beneath my soul. It shrinks away. You do not see me - The gap you leave, it left you whole. I fade away.

The slow fade
You do not see me - I've seen the world reflected in your distant eyes. You do not feel me - clenched around your heart beating fast as humming birds. You do not speak me - out in the night, thin in the dark like an empty oath. You do not find me - in the sky, sea, city, trees where my mind wanders. You do not touch me - behind my eyes, beneath my soul. It shrinks away. You do not see me - The gap you leave, it left you whole. I fade away.
