A Legacy

When I leave you

I will leave you

Things that might not help you

Things that might

Problems that I never solved

Dreams to keep you up at night

As I leave you

I will leave you

Things that stick for ever

Things that slide

Mysteries I swallowed whole

Happiness I couldn't share I will leave you

Promises I never kept I will leave you

Stories that I never told

Principles betrayed or sold

Love I tried to spread too wide I will leave you

Muscles you can grow in hate I will leave you

Summer darkness

Winter light

Young mans shame and

Old mans pride

When I leave you

I will hate to leave you

That's the heat that grows

With growing old

So never let me leave you

Never let me leave you

Cold
