PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Thinking about the years I've been at home

and All the times that I've felt so alone

I don't know where this life is leading

It could be what I have been dreading.



Not wanting to leave my family

This is going to be really hard for me.

Leaving them to love another

I've always been their daughter.



How can I leave this town and say Good-Bye

With him expecting me not to cry?

Looking through the rear-view

I realize this is the hardest thing I could do.



Seeing my newphew bring tears to my eyes

I wonder if he's ready to say his good-byes

I keep looking ahead and driving on

Wondering if this is my only way home.



I can't turn around, but I can't say good-bye

All I can do is smile, hide the reason to cry

Hold his hand and try to think about the good

I'm leaving the way I should.
