Leaving It Here

Folder: 
2002

On this paper I shall leave my mark

of rainy days and broken hearts,

of losing someone never there,

not that they ever really cared.



On this paper I shall leave my stain

of cans of pop and stinging pain,

of darkness and the boogymen,

forever to haunt me in my head.



On this paper I shall leave my aches

of way too much birthday cake,

of never seen loves and wishing on stars,

only at night when riding in cars.



On this paper I shall leave my mess

of crevasses and emptyness,

of longings for someone to call,

before I walk into a wall.



On this paper I shall leave my cries

of abandonment and staring eyes,

of capsizing at the mast,

cause I've been told this too shall pass.
