Fade And Die

by Dark Angel - Pisces

Looking back on the past
The fair skinned beauty of youth
Now forever ending
My heart denies the truth.

I sit here as an old man
Almost blind and bald
Craving a faded warmth
Alone through life I've crawled.

Remembering the star lights
The gleam in her amber eyes
The tears upon her cheeks
As she turned and said good-bye.

For years I've kept her secret
Hidden reminders in a special place
Locked her inside my heart
With daydreams of her face.

And still here I sit in peace
Keeping my promise inside
Loving her for the rest of my life
As I watched her shadow fade and die.
