Fade

Staring from a distance
Fleeing from your gaze
Nervousness and tension
My mind is in a haze

My heart is pulled by unknown threads
Reality feels just like a dream
In this state of ceaseless dread
Distorted and twisting
Not what it seems

As I chase after fleeting thoughts,
Some concrete baseline,
Is all I sought
But in return, not one thing more,
All I got was a slamming door

In desperation, and frightful need,
All I can do is continue to bleed.
Who I was, is fading fast
Doing all I can to grasp.

This empty void is spreading out
Silencing my every shout
Ceaseless vacuum, a great expanse,
Coming oblivion, a pointless dance

Forever unable, I can't escape
Forever locked within a cage

Searching for just one small light, but I fear I've lost my sight.
