Art Of Fading Away Poem by Sven Rhoads

I've done my time and now theres nothing left to say
I feel I've reached the end of the road
The mission is complete now so I'll fade away
Into the mist of the sweet unknown

With the smile upon your face
Its time for me to walk away

This face will become a memory
This deed will be the lasting impression
When you return there will be no tears
For in this moment you will hold it for years

I've kept the promise that I made so long ago
Its time to walk out with the setting sun
No more bad blood, those past days just had to go
The slate is clean for the future to show

When my eyes met your eyes
We need not say our goodbyes

All wounds are healed
Not even scars remain
But I will go in the art of fading away
Remember my words
I will always be here
Even when the silence is wearing my face

I'm not gone from you my friend
Its just the art of fading away
