I surrender

My dreams are dying, breath by breath,
fading like mist into the shadows of death.
The crushed and broken visions of days past
silent, voiceless, and cutting to the very last.
remind me that, ever and always, bit by bit
I am losing my grip and now stand doomed by my wit.

I scream in fury, I cry in pain
I'm in a desert and beg for rain
step by step, breath by breath
I find a new and gentle way to death
for now I know I'll never win
I've already given in...
