Fade
By. Karla W. Pritchett
I'm broken , So broken,
I'm torn in two.
Now it's dark
and silence closes in,
and I'm left to pick up the pieces,
try to put them back together,
but I've lost the glue.

Now i'm tired,
shaken by the agony of it all,
surrounded by a dark abyss
created from my fear.
It's quite,
through the darkness creatures stir,
and I hold on to the pieces.

The stone walls of my cell are cold,
dampness seeps over my skin,
but I won't give in,
somehow the pieces fit,
I just need more time,
maybe an eternity.

I feel myself growing old,
my skin withers,
so frail  and delicate
and the pieces of my life
turn to dust.

I didn't want to fade away...
