leaving...

leaving
is not
an easy thing to do
although
it might be
the necessary action.

i remember
leaving
to pursue
better nights

and as much
as i knew
its what
i was
meant to do

it never
ever
stopped
me
from feeling
the
sadness
loneliness
heartache.

even in arms
of love
and safety
we can be
afraid
alone
and wondering

sometimes
it hurts
so much
we cant forget
and so
we fear
leaving
ever
again.

the hardest part
is knowing
about the fear
about the leaving
the consequences
and seeing
the path
ahead

and

its knowing
that those feelings
emotions
do not stay
behind
but rather
remain
within us
just
differently
taking different
forms

meaning
and
feelings
and
emotions
we can never forget them
becase knowing
of them
is how
we know
what it
feels like
means
and resembles.

however
our feelings
are disguised
and made aware
to us
erasing them
means trying
not to know
pain
and love
and feeling.

turning to
repression
digression
unhappiness
and
sadness.

they key
to being
balanced
and at peace
is knowing
each feeling
carrying
all our emotions
with us
everyday
not forgetting
remember
what our path behind us is
and that it reflects
into us
on our path
forever.

we just
get to choose
which turns
and detours
we go on
as we continue
on our
path
of life
until
we
leave.
