Fading

For some it is inevitable
the colors gradually fade
Until the days seem eternally dusk
the skies forever grey

Waking in the morning
that old desire just ain't there 
what used to inspire 
along the way you lost somewhere

Youth seemed so invincible 
but getting old has a way
of making one feel vulnerable
knowing time is having the final say
