December22

I’m fading
Away, retiring
Drawing back
Forgetting how to feel
Letting go of the gloom
Yet not letting in the light

I’m fading
Unlike the memories
Unlike your touch
Unlike your smell
Unlike your taste

I’m fading
But not forgetting
How good it can feel
How deep it can get
How big it is

I’m fading
Into the winter
Into the colors gone
Away from the presence
Into the nothingness of the cold

Receding, withdrawing
Not erased yet
Just fading
Away

Question, so excuse my ignorance since I just started to read your blog.
Is this from personal experiences?
