Faded

f a d e d  and jaded, 
complicated and aloof-
I've been created
and replicated, 
        with no living proof.
I'm nothing but 
dilapidated,
left alone and 
                deteriorated. 

washed-out and 
colorless.
few is more, 
                  nonetheless-
shabby and faint
a life full of 
complaint,
          I must confess. 

disappearing into
the night, 
eyes left blinded
            by mere sight-
crowded rooms with
dissolving fabric,
living a life so tragic. 
no wrongs can be 
made right, 
when your deteriorated-
living a life so jaded and...
                           ...f a d e d.
