Fading

Colors fading to black 

Punctured lung
Unable to breath 

Unable to speak 

I reach to grasp a hold of something:

Anything

Unable to succeed 

I lay motionless on the cool ground

And stare into the black abyss

And slowly fade to nothing  

Wondering why nobody saw me

Nobody saw me suffering 

Struggling to hold on to life

Nobody saw me giving up 

fading away to nothing 

Nobody saw the signs 

They fell for the mask I wore on my face

They fell for my act 

and now they all sit and ask why 
Why would she give up 

Why was she hurting

What was going through her mind

But it's far too late

And doesn't matter anymore 

I'm gone 

And the pain still lingers in the air  

The thought that ran through my mind then 

And now continues after I'm gone is 

What was the point?
