Slowly Fading
March 21, 2013
fresh tears gather in my eyes once again
when the old ones dry, new ones itch to get out
my heart, where my darkest secrets are stored, can not take this anymore
but there's nothing I can do to stop
I can't stop
and I don't want to
I deserve to feel like this
I deserve to die
I curl up in the middle of my bed
and let every single tear I have escape me
when there's nothing left inside of me,
I close my eyes and slowly,
I let myself fade
and I let my heart slowly stop beating

Wow... that escalated quickly... haha Really good, for some reason when you said and I'm paraphrasing because you can't scroll up when commenting ... grr TI -.- but you said that you store the dark secrets in your heart that resonated with me because the heart is this sort of... light and lovely organ and it kind of gave me this mental image of these secrets burdening you and turning your velvet heart into this crippled little thing until you eventually... fade away. Anyways just my thoughts. Great job.
