Shrinking and Shrinking

Shrinking down now, With each passing day, Figures fading, Slipping away. Diminishing slowly, Bit by bit they wane, Until just, Numbers remain. Sitting on pages, In ledgers and books, Only a trace remains. Diminishing,fading, Almost out of sight, Reduced to mere digits, No longer alight. A Financial Phantom, Once bold and so clear, Now just a number, Devoid of all cheer. Accounting's faint echo, A numerical scar, Vanishing softly, Quiet and far.
