Withering away... The colors fade into one. The turning of the tides. To pa** from old to new. Kneeling before the sun, And seeking forgiveness No shelter from these piercing rays That blister my skin. Scarring the flesh. Begging for night- for an end. To the suffering. Covering the sun In a darkened embrace Unable to crawl of from these depths. I have sank. Intentions grow weak- Ambitions begin to fade. Searching for closure. Within the reach of another existence. One day this nightmare will end. Leaving this life's perils behind. Withering away.
