Fading

I sit within the ruins Of a mind Struggling Lost in endlessly dark Synaptic alleys Reaching For an unseen face An unknown word A fading Me.

You've still got it, John, sometimes we just feel lost. Don't give up, keep writing; you'll find your path. Great title and good verse to go with it. Bill
