Little by Little
Little by little
Day by day
Time after time
She’d fade away
Little by little
She lost her way
Time after time
Day by day
She’s left pieces of herself behind
Let her anxiety take control
Standing here unrefined
Waiting for her thunder to roll
Water flows from her eyes steady
Holding on to a tattered rope
Everyday her troubles weigh heavy
Lost her ability to cope
Little by little
Day by day
Time after time
She’d fade away
Little by little
She lost her way
Time after time
Day by day
Abandoned faith left out to dry
No longer will she believe
Little by little her heart has died
It’s getting harder to conceive
Echos of the painful screams
From haunted voices of guilt
She has lost the power of dreams
Crashing down the walls she built
Little by little
Day by day
Time after time
She’d fade away
Little by little
She lost her way
Time after time
Day by day
About this poem
This is about a woman I knew. She had depression and anxiety issues . Some days were worse then others. In the end she is no more. I was unable to turn her around.
