Fade

Slowly...
heartwrenchingly...
heartbreakingly...
slowly.

Watching you fade...
away...
the girl so full of life...
giving up.

How could you?
But I'm not mad at you,
I am angry at Him.
How could you?

Do that to her?
Someone so bright and shining...
so young and innocent...
so perfect.

I'm so sorry.
No I am not apologizing to you,
but to her...
my sweet baby.

I'm dying...
going with her...
she's dying...
fading away.

Slowly...
heartbreakingly...
heartwrenchingly...
oh so
Slowly.

Slow and painful, like a knife across a cantaloupe or a young fetus. I like how you capitalized "Him," too, it doubles the meaning of the line and a good deal of the poem.

The underlying message in this poem was strong, but you also left it wonderfully broad as to have it touch everyone in all sorts of ways. Every background it gets someone. It definitely got me. ->Infamous Motherfuckin Sue

*sigh* I feel for you, for having to go through this.

People change, and we can't stop that. I wish the people I love wouldn't change, but when they do, It's likely the won't be the same to me. I understand, it is hard to let go, but what else is there to do? Sorry for rambling

wow...I can just imagine standing in front of a mirror, and images that are only there to you arguing...and it slowly fades to black. Wonderful *~seraph~*

ohhh you need love *hugs* i see flashes of a nightmare, a child's face fading, and familiar anger towards the universe. none of these feelings can be shielded from or shortened in their course, but the love of your friends can warm you at least.

- you have that from me and if you ever need someone to talk to- sincerely, i'll be here to listen.
