Author's Notes:  Be afraid, Chaotic Serenity's having one hell of a depressing day.  My friend may have possibly committed suicide and I'm stuck in a world that never gave a damn about me in the first place. 

Warnings: Language, themes.

Dedication:  To all whose light has left them faded and uncaring, and to my friend Becky, and to Katie, who I know is going through a hard time.  Never let go of the light, never let those who can't handle it bring you down with them.

Clinging by Silver Strands

I'm hanging on the edge of destiny,

My silver strings are nearly broken by the uncaring,

Snip! And they're gone.

My wings broke off years ago,

And the few that can still fly are falling fast,

One shot and they're down,

For we, the zombies, offer no protection for their fragile souls,

Hellish planet of uncaring cretins,

Demonic faces of false love,

Desired flesh,

Torn, free-floating feathers,

Little star,

Still burning so brightly,

But fading fast.

Fading star,

Keep on burning,

For me,

Don't let me down.

You're our only hope,

Our only star,

Keep burning,

God, please do,

For me.

You're silver strands are still hanging,

Tightly clenched in the hands of God,

Who gently leads his beloved children through pain,

I've fallen,

I'm faded,

Little star,

Never…stop…fading…

And…now…we say…Goodbye.

And the strand finally breaks.

Hey Katie, hey, Zchan oh little stars of mine.  Don't ever let the light fade.  She did and fell, but you're still here to carry the legacy, and the memories.  Don't ever fall, or else I'll ever forgive you.  I know the pain; I'm not sure where my friend's life is going.  She's so depressed too.  If you need a friend, you know where to find me.
