Taking Leave

Tomorrow
Evening
I shall
Disappear into dusk
Eaten away by fading clouds
Leaving just a slight depression in our mattress
Barely bigger than my body used to be
The imprint of my soul
Tired to oblivion
Fled to
Better
Skies

Do
Not
Cry no
Not for me
This is the best escape
The ideal move for both you and I
Now at last you can start forgetting me
While I will stop worrying about your distress
Both of us at last
Free from duty
And pain
Care
Love

Can't
You
See this?
How unbearable is
Being lost in this shadow
Each memory a sharp blade in our heart
In vain we bleed over each other's pain
Without hope except in flight
Do not weep
Over me
Love
Smile
