Go

Go if you will
And take me with you.
And if I can't go,
Then take my essence,
my memories,
take what I would say to you
and
how I would say it.

Go, Go, Go.

Go if you must.
See how brave I can be.
Braving all the wiles.
Swallowing down conversations
with pills.
Where to start?
Your head aches.
My heart breaks
so easily.
Why glass?
Why couldn't it have been made out of steel?
Something shiny.
Something dense.

And talk-
Why talk,
when you're going?
Well, so, where have you been?
Whom did you see?
When will you leave again?
In a little while,
In a little while little one.

And is it possible that
I'm slowly disappearing?
My name has escaped your vocabulary.
Inside, I cringe at the sound of footsteps,
walking out the door.
I'm shrinking,
please put me in your pocket
when you go.

Go, Go, Go.

Take this-
Going through dresser drawers-
Take that.
Piles, piles.

It was you & you and only you.
Always you.

I'm cleansed.
I'm pure-
Clean through.
It's October.
The air smell of fall.
And you're gone.

Finally gone.
