The Dull Blade

I left and they didn't.

Should've held those last few minutes, but I won't

Under the surface they wither, but I have to cope

A lifetime spent, a lifetime waiting

I won't phase back, just to hide from fading

I won't phase back, I won't fade away

I wept and they didn't

Can't change the way it'll finish, and I won't

Slip below the surface, and I'll start to choke

It chips away

The dull blade
