Fading

Odd • 454 followers

I feel as if I'm fading,
My shadow only a shading.
That my purpose has gone,
That my presence is wrong.
My arms have turned invisible...
Being unseen is miserable.
But I no longer exist...
And I'm not being missed.
I just want to be back,
but a body I lack.
Maybe if I was wanted,
That's something to be daunted.

#shadows We are shadows of the human life, we are always there. Not someone or something, just there. We show in the sunlight, Disappear in rain. Bigger and distorted. Black and grey.

Silent whispers of what was, Leaves falling down because... Everything has a eventual end And back to its beginnings, it must descend. In the beginning we are all the same.

Inky Stars

Inky stars blot the page, Casting a worldly feel. The words that are scrawled upon its paleness, Turn the fiction into something real. With every passing second, more moments are added.

End

How do we know that things will ever end. How do we know that when we think things will end... And that things will ever cease to be. That once we think it is all over, it won't finish.
