Fading away to shadow

A smile lay on my face
a frown dampens my heart
as tears threaten to shatter my shining light.

An understanding slithers its way deep inside me,
no matter how wrong or how right
it delivers a message that tells me I wont be alright.

To weak to try and defeat
it wraps around my light
dampening my every right.

Slowly it crawls and it stretches
untill a tiny spec is all that I am given
darkness pours itself in.

My heart continues on a slowing beat,
a smile fighting its way off my twisted face
screaming and fleeing as I should be leaving.

Falling to my weakened knee's
I try and smile and stand back up
but this understanding has become to much.

A tear falls down my desolate face
crumbling to all my weakness
as I'm slowly ripped apart.

It seems this understanding
is not just an understanding
just the dark voices that are calling me home.
