Fade
Forever i continue my circling,
i have nothing but anger in a carousel of agony.
i'm slipping through the cracks
of a dark eternity
with nothing but my pain
and the paralyzing anguish.
Maybe it's a dream;
maybe nothing else is real'
but it wouldn't mean a thing
if I told you how I feel
I'm tired of all the pain,
of the misery inside
And I wish that I could live
feeling nothing but the night
If I make another move,
there'll be no more turning back
Because everything will change,
and it all will fade to black
Will tomorrow ever come?
Will I make it through the night?
Will there ever be a place
for the broken in the light?
Am I hurting? Am I sad?
Should I stay, or should I go?
I've forgotten how to tell.
Did I ever even know?
Can I take another step?
I've done everything I can
All the people that I see
I will never understand
If I find a way to change,
if I step into the light
Then I'll never be the same,
and it all will fade to white
If I make another move,
if I take another step
Then it all would fall apart.
There'd be nothing of me left
If I'm crying in the wind,
if I'm crying in the night
Will there ever be a way?
Will my heart return to white?
Can you tell me who you are?
Can you tell me where I am?
I've forgotten how to see;
I've forgotten if I can
Forever i continue my circling,
i have nothing but anger in a carousel of agony.
i'm slipping through the cracks
of a dark eternity
with nothing but my pain
and the paralyzing anguish.
If I opened up my eyes
there'd be no more going back
'Cause I'd throw it all away,
and it all would fade to black.

Magnificent poetry, Ashe! Like all of your poems that I have read thus far, it is deep, dark, and very masterfully written. My favorite line in this one was:
"i'm slipping through the cracks
of a dark eternity"
Which was very gothic-feeling and had a certain dark beauty all its' own. This poem was tragically sad in many parts, but behind it all I could sense a strong determination that speaks of one who has been through a lot in life and survived. Simply great work!
