The Shallower it Grows

It’s everywhere I look
From Las Vegas to right here
Under your dresser
Right by your ear

It’s creeping in sweetly
It’s definitely here
There’s nothing more deadly
Than slow growing fear

Life was full and fruitful
And you could take a real bite
The juice pouring well over
Your skins delight

But the shadow it grows
And takes the depth away
Leaving broken down pieces
To this priceless ballet

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line

(The Fade Out Line by Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws)

Yeah, the fade out line. I’ve been fearing the fade out line. I feel that AG visiting me will be like some kind of crazy moment where I will fear fading away less. Spending more time with her would make this place so much more meaningful. So much more worth living for.
