I am afraid.
After what happened, I'll never be the same.
I can feel myself fading, leaving everything.
I'll never be the same.
I am fading.
I am afraid.
Time heals all wounds, but time can't mend things this broke.
Like sand, I fall through the hands of reality.
Now and forever broke.
I am fading.
I am afraid.
Evaporate into that void which I fear.
This must be my destiny. To watch myself die.
Scared for eternity.
I am crying.
I am crying.
No one can ever console the mess I am-
"Breaking. Cracking. Failing. Dying.
This is earned. Leave me be. Let me die.
No one can know. No one should help.
… I don't want to die.
Fearful. Screaming. Crying. Needing.
Need someone. Need support. Send a plea.
No one will care. Always alone.
… I wish someone cared.
The burns. The scars. The pain. The fear.
Glitching out. Disconnect. Not all here.
The world still moves. Yet I stand still.
… Reality fades."
"Who are you there?
"I don't know who you are, but I want to help.
I need to forget my own fate and help them live
I know what you're feeling.
I am fading."
"Hold on to me."
Though I am still scared, I must help them live first.
"If you hold on, I can keep you from fading. Please."
I can never be saved.
I am fading.
They cannot know.
I need to stay in reality to help.
I can't show them the demons I hold deep inside.
Stay strong to save them, please.
I am holding.
I am fading.
But they can't see. I need to stay strong so they-
"Tell me. Let me. I'll help. I can.
I know fear. I can tell. You need help.
Please let me in. I know you're scared.
… Just hold on to me"
I can never.
I can't watch reality take you away.
I cant let someone I love die because I'm weak.
Find someone else.
Someone not scared.
Never. Ever. Staying. Helping.
You've helped me. Let me help. You've earned it.
I know the dark. And so do you.
… I'll never leave you.
Staying. Caring. Holding. Strongly.
We will stay together.
Troubles. Trials. Problems. Failures
Through the easy and rough.
I care. I hold. I stay. I love.
I love you with no end.
I fear. Dying. Leaving. So scared.
I'll help keep you afloat.
I'll hold. I'll help. I'll stay. You'll live.
You help keep me afloat.
The fear. The pain. The tears. We cry.
We are both very scared.
The love. The care. The hope. We hold.
But together, we live.
I leave. I go. You hold. Save me.
If I can keep holding
You leave. You go. I hold. Save you.
If you can keep holding.
We stay. We hold. We breathe. We live.
We can both stop fading.
