Leavers

Everybody leaves so why haven’t you? 

To this fact I am no longer so blind. 

Pain has been etched on my heart like a tattoo. 

Together we made a stunning debut.

Nonetheless, I have got to bear in mind

That everybody leaves so why wouldn’t you. 

All this will take so little to undo. 

Our boundaries are not quite yet defined,

Unlike the pain on my heart. My tattoo. 

Heartbreak is what I long ago outgrew,

But to recall us two as one entwined…

Everybody leaves, but maybe not you?

Love I could review, my walls I’d subdue.

Maybe you will be the one to mend

The pain that would fade like a temp-tattoo…

Or maybe I’ll just enjoy this short view

For why should I be the one left behind?

Pain will remain etched on my heart. A tattoo.

Everybody leaves and soon, so will you.
