Longing

I can feel my mind breaking
As memories fade away
I feel it always aching
As I watch myself decay

Joy a distant mystery
Burdened by dismay
Never felt to this degree
All I know are shades of grey

Colours lose their vibrancy
Images their focus
Music just might silence me
I wouldn't even notice

I remember him bleeding
All sticky and metallic
Suffering receding
Red blooming through the fabric

Free now from the struggle
This curse called living
The bright end of the tunnel
Magnificently fitting

It's all that I think about
Severed from my friend
Everything is drowned out
Waiting for the end.
