Fade

Time will tell
Ticking through the day and night
Hours slowly slipping by
It will tell me all is well

All the hurt and fear and pain
Growing fainter, healing slower
Dimming like a worn out bulb
Fading like summertime

I'm waiting to be healed
But I'll never truly be whole
Because I've given a part of me away
And I can't have it back

So this shadow
Incomplete and unfulfilled
Will watch the time tick
And wait for Spring.
