Fade Away

No one can know

The price that I have paid 

To allow my body

To fade away

It has robbed my spirit

It has eroded my soul

On my mind, on my body

It has takes its toll

Has the hole I have dug

become so deep

That I have nothing left to do

but accept it and weep?

My body betrays me

as I try to re-fuel

It laughs and it mocks me

I feel like a fool

I want to throw in the towel

and just run away

The stakes are too high

In this game that I play

I Have nothing to lose

And everything to gain

If I could step off this path

of shame and pain
