Faded

I’ll fade to the gray you met me as

I can feel the knife in your hand
As you hug me goodbye

What is everything but momentary?
What is home to you?

Was it only a dream I had?
When you kissed me like that

What excites you?
What exhausts you?
Where do I stand?

For the sake of sounding pathetic
I’ll take cancer over your kiss

Just to be reminded
I’m as gray within as without

Walking away
