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
