Home Leaving

Home Leaving

4/4/2011

When I leave this place

Never to return,

Would you even show

Me your concern?

Would my last laughter

Resonate down the halls?

Will my essence remain

Like a picture on the walls?

Would my name, my soul

Still echo from lips?

Or will I be erased

By a solar eclipse?

And if my name remains

How long will that last?

When will we move on?

And stop living in the past?

But I move on,

I know that I must

Because I know you won’t

And that I can trust.

Still I know that I’ll be loved

And I’ll never disappear.

I have left, but that doesn’t mean

That I am no longer here.
