Part of Me Leaves – Written Thursday 9th January 2020 (Aged 44)

Part of Me Leaves

a piece of me leaves,
a part of me is missing
these days stretch out and wane
there are too many things
and they overfill our brain
then they overspill,
like commuters on a train

a piece of me is apart
and i am reminded
as i watch a part of me leave,
there is never enough time
and there never has been

when i was younger
i believe there was
but i was too busy undoing locks
and i was too busy running around to notice

there is a sadness
as part of me, someone i know
has these fleeting moments
and then, they have to go
