Fade

Fade

Seeping, languidly into darkness, still,

Shrinking shadows of pasts long denied,

Drift by silently, unannounced, unremembered,

Falling then to nothing, whilst they stir.

The stirrings create a wake, slams doors,

Light, once bright, receeds,

Sound once crystal, decays to noise,

Awareness slips a little more.

Now senses dulled, and showing flaws,

Feelings pulse, shallow,

Emotion chills,

Stillness,

FLATLINE!
