Fading Away

I feel my life fading away

my voice has gone

no one hears what I say.

I wonder have I passed

the point of redemption

as my name no longer

gets a mention.

I have been left to my own devices

after I ignored

all their help and sacrifices.

Now it’s too late

to see my mistakes

and to realise

who is to blame for

all the heartache.

My life now is fading fast,

the time has come

to pay the penalty for my past.
