Each day grows harder to bear, though I still have fight in me— it flickers, like a candle shrinking in wind.
I wake with heaviness, and sleep with silence. And every hour, some small part of me gets quietly erased.
I feel it. Tiny things vanishing— hope, desire, love— like words smudged off a page no one ever finished reading.
Soon, I fear, I'll be nothing but an empty white canvas. Not fresh. Just forgotten.
A lonely sheet of paper, left on a quiet desk, weeping in silence because no one ever wrote their name across its heart. No one ever cared to read the lines that once tried to form.
And maybe that’s what I’m afraid of— not being alone, but being unread. Unnoticed. Undone. Slowly fading until there's nothing left but the silence of a story never told.
And when I'm gone, they’ll only see the blankness— never knowing how much was written there before it faded.
A white sheet. Still. Silent. Crying for someone to see it before it's gone.
