Fading

I am fading away,
Like your fading love,
My heart burning,
With your caustic words.

I am fading away,
As you watch me bleed,
When you leave me to die,
In this illness of mine.

I am fading fast,
I see you change,
I beg you to stay,
You push me away.

I am fading away,
Soaked in tears,
You leave me alone,
To fight on my own.

The scars on my heart,
The bruises on my mind,
Have left their mark,
I fear the dark.

Burning with fever,
No love no health!
Dying again and dying alone,
But this isn't the final death!
