for a change,
i am leaving.
i hoped that you would
try to treasure these last days,
and hang around a little longer,
maybe tell me that you'll miss me.
anything so that i feel like i'm leaving something real,
not just taking up space and kicking around dust.
but you are a closed door in a wall-less room
falling asleep without needing me
while all i can do fake my excitement
about wide open spaces and the great beyonds.
oh, unfamiliar world, please accept me,
i am so terrified of becoming a full blown void.
no where i go will ever feel home
if each time i leave
everyone forgets to give a God damn.
