Fade and Die

It’s amazing every time

how quick and easy it is

watching as dreams fade and die

All the things I wanted to share with you

mean nothing now

There’s no enthusiasm left

just a hole I’d thought I’d filled

instead left that much wider

All the possibility

couldn’t fill it now

Not sure what the point was

Guess I spent my energy

fooling myself into thinking

that I mattered somehow

and now there’s nothing left here

but the truth of the situation

that I was just a pair of hands

a warm body, nothing more

I guess I saw it to the end

didn’t think it’d be so soon

but no one gets what they want always

Don’t worry, I won’t bother you

you’ll pass by me here eventually

right where you left me standing

with nothing to show for my time

but memories and a foolish dream

thst lies dead at my feet
