Poem 22

Fading Now (Reprise)

My eyes struggle to stay open
I wanted to give my heart to you
In the end, I did nothing but complain
I'm sorry, but I'm fading now
I wanted to grow with you
To give you a book to be proud of
But all I did is pour out my regrets

I wanted to leave you something to look back on
In my absence, you could love this
The way I love you
Do you think, darling
That I could save this?
Do you think, baby
That I could save us?
