fading.
March 8, 2010
fading.
here I sit,
watching
waiting
wanting.
the rain causes rust
not with the world,
with me—
brittle bones
cracked skin
here I sit,
watching
waiting
aging.
my pupils grow cold;
my gaze grows weak.
here I sit,
trying to escape
beyond this fragile body.
the world—
forgetting my existence.
the world—
pretending it’s okay.
yet here I sit,
counting the days,
watching
waiting
wanting the end.
