What is this, my breath quickens
Why is this happening to me, my eyes dilate
I see myself falling, my limbs turn to jelly

I watch helplessly from the audience, fearing for the main character
My heart breaks when the character’s heart is ripped from her chest
She is falling, faster, and faster
She is running toward the edge

I’m just a helpless observer
I watch and wait for the right time to react
My timing is less than perfect, the lost angel fell through my grasp
I look on as she falls

She is getting closer to the ground
The ground rushing up to meet its new playmate
As she gets closer to the ground I fade

Its not so bad
I can’t feel the light when it shines down on me
I can’t feel it when my angel meets her own horrific end
I couldn’t feel it when I stopped smiling
I couldn’t feel it when my heart stopped beating

I sit here slowly fading away
I wait by my angel’s shattered remains
Slowly fading away as others try to help
Sorry to say this, but your too late
My angel has left me here alone to fade away at my own pace

I feel the shadows of my own self
I remember the days when my angel and I were once one
Now I know I wasn’t saved or helped I’m fading away
Soon I will be nothing more than a small memory
Yes nothing more than a faded memory
