What does it mean to slowly die

What does it mean to slowly die?

To watch your dreams pass you by.

What does it mean to slowly die?

To forget the smiles that made you feel alive.

You get so busy and caught up in living.

You don’t even realize your inner self giving

Up.

Down the path you feel is successful.

All the while ignoring the inevitable.

You become so busy living.

You forget the why for living.

What does it mean to slowly die?

Maybe it’s when the inner light inside begins to fade..

Away.

Here lies the fire that use to be fierce.

Here lies the will and all it’s effierce

Here lies the heart that indifference transpierced

What does it mean to slowly die?

To forget how to burn bright inside.

When you sit and stare and think.

I’m empty.

It’s dark.

I feel the brink.

What does it mean to slowly die?

It’s being young and alive.
