Leaving her
When she runs
In my veins
While I travel
Within her
From head to toe
Each stop
I watch
Passing me by
And today
I leave her
Unfeeling
Maybe to return
But maybe not.

When she took me in
I knew myself
And then she
Mirrored
The me I knew not
Everyday she took in
Another new me
Defined, redefined.
Sometimes
Broken
I fell in love
Knew passion
Here
For the first time.

For now
I'm numb
I'm still running
In her veins
I'm not yet out.
Yet I'm leaving
I will not return
Like the way
I have left
I will
But return
If I'm lost
To lose myself
Again.
