They once spoke with confidence in their voice,
Never to be mistaken for somebody empty,
However...
This soul was as fragile as glass,
Even though it seemed to be as strong as steel,
It said, something terrible happened...
A thing so terrible it could shatter those even made of steel...
Slowly but surely, they withdrew,
They stopped seeing their friends,
The ones they loved,
They stopped speaking with the same weight they once carried,
They became transparent,
They became a hollow excuse for who they once were,
And as time progressed,
Their face began to fade,
And as time passed,
Their mind decayed into null,
And as time flew,
Their body started to rot,
And finally, when time stopped,
They were nothing but a husk
