Soothing Expressions

I’ll be leaving soon
Smile my departure looms
No worries I’ll be leaving soon

For those who’s problems lie not with me
I apologize
Sometimes I drear a softer touch will shadow down and kiss thee
My correspondence toward the acts of others within due 
Time murders my want
My need to find places of better to pursue
Forgive me, for in this weather my thoughts lure 
I look at things like the Virginia tech massacre
Incidents you all refer to as tragedies
A day before, my love tear, as nothing became of her
We smile when the days bring happiness
Yet we allude to shadows as the balance sways
If I could bring myself to a time that I sat and laughed with stress
I would no longer pray to fade along with the days of May
I nod my thoughts as I realize 
Those poor souls are no longer cursed to witness our rapture
Becoming phantoms to this world’s only capture
Autumn lingers
Once more my soul becomes a singer
Amongst my peers, I worry, never to mingle
You all fear the days end
As I remain darkened 
In these shades of grey you hope to suspend

Got the feeling I’ll be leaving soon
Smile my departure looms
No worries I’ll be leaving soon

For those of you whom dare to remove my presence
I will simply leave
