I'm slipping
I'm slipping through your hands as you loosen your grip
I'm slipping away from you without your knowing
I'm slipping into my hell and away from all blessed to me
I'm falling
I'm falling through an abyss too large to comprehend
I'm falling down a hole too deep for me to see
I'm falling into a fire too hot to feel the heat
I'm fading
I'm fading away from sight
I'm fading into the dark corner that has been hidden until now
I'm fading away from myself
I am faded
I am faded completely now
I am faded completely and my eyes can not see
I can not see a way back to my visible image
My visible image that has slipped from your brain
Slipped theirs
And mine
Mine
I do not know what my image was
Beautiful
Ugly
Talented
Useless
I do not know if I am
If I am here
If I am real
If I am human
Do I feel?
Do I express?
Do I love?
Am I loved?
Love
So innocent yet so sinful
Is it mine?
So many questions flitter through me
Am I
Do I
Are they
Do they
So many questions that are fading
Fading with me
The question of love
The question that needs to be answered
The call that needs to be picked up
The whisper that needs to be secured
Love
Do I have it?
Is it mine?
Maybe it has been a dream
An illusion
My pretend escape
These doubts are what triggered my slip
My question
My question of love
My call of need
My cautious whisper
Question
Call
Whisper
Love.
