Fade Without Me
By John Michael Isley
Night falls and your absence begins to settle onto me.
White walls barred in – the fence beyond – in floods monotony…
Light squalls take quiescence over, breaking what’s gotten to be…
Rite… calls for an intense, yet needed touch of reverie.
Trite stalls steal the essence of your love from my memory
Like small raindrops that senselessly wash away with every
Strike, falling down invincibly into our history --
Piked all throughout my tense, heavy heart with banality.
Psyched, swallowed by the dense, dark, amnesiac nullity;
I’m faltering… convinced you’ve escaped my mentality --
Time follows no rules, hence your face has lost its quality --
I’m already lost inside you as you fade… fade without me…
White walls barred in – the fence beyond - in floods monotony…
Night falls and your absence begins to settle onto me.
