#fadingaway
You stood in the doorway, the storm in your hair No words between us, just the cold in the air Your eyes like the grey, just before it breaks And I knew in that moment, what silence takes Rain keeps the silence, falling like truth Washing the footprints we left in our youth I reach for the sky that won’t come again You’re gone with the thunder, and I’m just the rain The sky keeps on weeping, as if it knows The ache in my chest where your shadow grows I whispered your name but the wind turned away Some feelings don’t leave, they just learn to stay Turned away, turned away.. Rain keeps the silence, soft as your breath Drenched in the memory of what’s been left And if you should wonder why skies remain grey It’s me in the downpour, fading away. Fading away, turned away..

New Beginnings
One day, you wake up and you’re not you anymore. You look in the mirror, but the eyes are empty, like someone else is living there. You didn’t notice it happening, how you gave away pieces of yourself just to fit, just to please. A thousand small moments, a smile you didn’t mean, a “yes” when you screamed “no” inside. You thought you were strong. But you let them carve you down, chisel by chisel, until there’s nothing left but the shell of who you used to be. It doesn’t happen all at once. It’s the slowest kind of death, the kind where you’re still breathing, but you’re gone. And the worst part? You did it to yourself. Not with a knife, but with silence, with pretending, with forgetting what you’re worth— until one day, you can’t even remember who you used to be. you’ve lost track of who you were — a shadow, a stranger in your own reflection. you’ve erased the memory of who you were, now lost to the emptiness you created.

spaceless
I'm here on the bed, you're there on your game Forgive me for thinking that that's sort of lame You want simulation, I want stimulation That comes from a touch not my imagination I wish you would take me to far away places Instead I'm left wide open with these big empty spaces Wounds need to be dressed, holes need to be filled Someone catch me I'm falling, dont even know if its real Got people calling me an Egirl like Im after flirtation Forgive me for being hungry for just a little conversation Should I just fade away, while you play away Watch me fade away, might not be here someday

UNTITLED
Maybe, one day; when I grow old, I’ll see past quarrels slowly fold.   Maybe, one day: when lights grow dim, We’ll all sit quiet to hear one somber hymn. Maybe, one day: the rain stops pouring; You’ll be with me- our hearts left soaring.

one day.
Theres a lingering cloud when we conversate An awkward vibe we never mention Long gone are our banters and cute debates Keeping feelings minimal, avoiding questions The adorable messsages we used to send Are they ever coming back or was that it? Loving like we used to, is that real or just pretend Keep my broken heart if we ever do split You're slowly fading away from me I don't even think you realise All i can do is let you be And let me deal with all the cries. Perhaps it was the distance Or maybe it was just the time All of this gives me grievance I just want you to remain mine.

And so life goes on . . . the last fragments of my memories melting away. Don't forget me, okay. Hold onto a piece of me, please.

The Little Girl
She always wore mismatched socks because, Well why not wear them? The excitement in her eyes constantly could never really fade, Until it did fade and it’s gone now. Where did she go, where did she leave to? The girl who lived in a pumpkin, with unthinkable ***** Who laughed the loudest at every joke, Even if it wasn't that funny, but wanted to make the person telling it feel good. Where is she now, what has become of her? She walks around uncertain about the way her life goes, When she is perfectly capable of figuring out the puzzle. She would drink out of goblets to be apart from the norm, And because they looked "cool" in her hands. She would skip around to get to her destination, Just for the fact that walking was overrated. Her persona is fading away, the quintessential girl everyone knew is still there, But inside she is falling into a slump. How can she be reunited with her old self, when all that is in front of her, Is beginning to change? Everything is starting to become clear, but it will hurt others, How can she accept the change is for the better, When she's been so accustomed to what has become of her life?
