The Fading Light

Days have been dark, 
Times when depression struck,
Finding myself lost in sorrow
Not knowing, if I would live till tomorrow. 

What if, I died today? 
Would you still think of me everyday? 
If tomorrow never comes, 
Would you still remember my love for you? 

It seems like my road narrowing daily, 
Losing myself has become a norm. 
My heart has become a ticking bomb
Yet my heart still longs for your love 

I feel like giving in, 
Every night and day I get weak. 
Wishing you were next to me to bid goodbye. 
Maybe I'm exaggerating, maybe it is true 

I'm here waiting for you, to light my way.
For everyday it gets darker and harder, 
With no sign of peace coming my way, 
I wait, strongly believing that you will come 

As my body gets cold and dim. 
Hope escaping as every minute goes by. 
I gaze at the stars, with nothing not even faith
As I take my last breath, I wish you a goodbye
