  • The Leaving
  • she slipped out from
  • under neath his arm
  • crawled across the floor
  • pulled down the shade and
  • blew out the candle shut the door
  • to the other room the floor was cold
  • in the hall and the light in the north room
  • fell soft and without direction(so
  • it was really hard to tell
  • whether it was dusk or whether it was dawn
  • she said to herself
  • I used to wake up in the morning
  • and the day was mine then
  • I used to wake up in the morning
  • and the day was ours
  • now I wake up in the morning
  • and the day belongs to you
  • now I'm not a phone booth at a
  • truckstop on the turnpike
  • and I don't know how I feel
  • I cannot see your face
  • and I do not know what's real
  • nothing was really said after that
  • no goodbyes she grabbed up
  • a few things she needed
  • her heart her soul and the
  • keys to the car and she left
  • it was a grey day she drove a
  • while until she came to a place
  • where she could stay and feel safe
  • she took a room at a motel and
  • put away her things and sat quietly on the bed
  • it was three o'clock in the afternoon
  • and she sang a sad song in her head
  • she took off all of her clothes
  • and tried to fall asleep
  • tossing and turning she fell into a dream
  • once again she was driving down the highway
  • listening to the radio
  • there were people standing and waving
  • along the side of the road
  • there was no place in particular
  • she felt she had to go
  • then the straight lines turned to circles
  • and then into a kaleidescope
  • then in a half sleep she controlled the dream
  • and she thought to herself
  • it's hard to see the future
  • looking backwards through a telescope
