Carousel

We wave bye-bye madly. You disappear around the curve. Moments later, I am thrilled to see you again. Mother love.

I'm leaving my insecurities and regrets behind and becoming a new me.

Try to stop me if you can.

Fresh Footprints

I’m leaving fresh footprints

wrapping

impenetrable cloak of death

around me

faded like empty paper bag

vanishing from tomorrow’s highway

Rest In Pieces

The rest

is all

they’ll have;

peace’s

in parcels

I’m leaving behind:

patch-work-threaded thoughts,

quill-ted —

a hope chest,

satin

lined.

Grandeur

I'll leave you here, penciled neatly into the margins of my life's story:

we could have been something grand.

Regret

I depart with a shard of regret

That I leave you in a sea of grief

Without looking back again.

Lasting memory...

I wanted the touch of your hand to be a lasting memory, sadly, it wasn't...

True Reset

I am leaving. Sorry if I had to reset the world. I just cannot stand what my own hands did

I’m leaving

All you have to do is ask me not to go.

I just want you to want me to stay.

Not too far away

I'm leaving, in an instant, to the confines of my imagination.

Don't worry I'll be back when you need me.
