Fade Away

I see you in my dreams, I see you in my day, I hear your voice calling even though you're so far away. Whispering to me, calling my name, its a voice often chilled by sorrow and pain. In the light of the day it slow and fades, but in the darkness of night, it grows louder begging me to ask "are you okay". Hiding from these problems, running from the shame, afraid of facing the truth though its all the same. I don't know why I'm scared of this, it seams that all the answers are hit and miss. I see you standing there so close I can see it, yet so far I can't feel it. I'm wasting away, slipping through the cracks of the shadowing doubt, I don't wanna fade away, but now I fear there is no way out. The new moon rises, in this night so cold, as the clouds roll in shadowing my soul. The light fades as darkness sets in, alone in this place as another evening ends. The darkness fades and the light brightens my room on this day, only to reveal to me your agony and pain, I wish I could only end this suffering. I've found you in you're corner, I'll pull you out of the clouds, why are you in such a hurry, you don't wanna be lost in the crowd. All the pain you've suffered through, and everything they've done to you, the light in your eyes fades, as your joy gives in to a teardrops way. Smiling as though theres nothing wrong, always now I've been your friend all along. I'll help you avoid what you could've been, help to erase the memories of them. Just as you've brought light back to my day, I'll help make sure the light in your eyes never again fades. I'm through with all the pain, because neither of us wants to fade away.
