fading light.


the rain doesn’t weep, the sky doesn’t mourn,

only cold steel speaks, whispering through flesh.

i press my side; warmth spilling, fading,

a red river washing down cracked pavement.


no prayers, no hands to hold; just silence,

and the flickering hum of a dying streetlight.

no ghosts, no last words,

just the rain tapping against nothing.


once, i stood tall, thought i was unbreakable,

a blade against the softness of the world.

now, i sink, nameless in the gutter,

my breath thinning, lost to the night.


the world doesn’t stop.

it doesn’t care.

it never did.
