Leaving home..

As one chapter closes and the other opens
Her heart cannot part with the closing pages
Her heart can’t come to terms with this eclipse
The darkness it beings in, makes her feel the emptiness

Feels like she hasn’t had enough of anything
Her heart yearns to go back to the restless
To the care free, to the cared, to the memories
To the innocence, to her home…..

To the fun, to the laughter, to family
Hoping not, but knowing
That a dark shadow may be cast
Over what life was like in the past

She knows its not that bad
Yet her heart is just sad
She is aware of the coming happiness,
Yet is there a hidden ache some where

Her eyes will turn and look back
Far deep into the past
And her heart will always long and say
“I wish my childhood could just last…..”
