the hardest part of leaving
the hardest part of leaving
is some parts of you that cling behind
can’t bear the alteration in the mind
of somewhere you hate but can’t unlove
despite how bad the heart’s been hurt
of that fateful day your lips touch mine
earth stops a beat as worlds collide
no wounds are traced in the hindsight
when all there was was you and i
i will miss the afternoon nights
when heads in laps, we stare at the sky
of black dust, of white breams, of nothingness
as i come to appreciate the goddess
for bringing here someone as beautiful as you
with bambi eyes that care and smile
with hands that weave into mine when i cry
and by your side, always a mountain dew
that sizzles champaign foams of demise
as everything around us dies
and we are the only beings alive
as you take me out of the dark
and pull me in the way of the lark
to get us to a better life
that memory won’t ever leave my mind
the hardest part of leaving
is the thing inside that beats and cries
