a farewell

Goodnight, room; goodbye forever Don’t resent me for not coming back to say hello It’s a lot less strange when I pretend I don’t remember you The days and nights we spent together Up for hours, contemplating Perhaps one day you’ll understand And I know I’m not the only one who has abandoned you Don’t think it makes you any less important You were great, thanks for accepting me Thanks for keeping me dry when it rained Keeping me safe when I thought the world was ending There’ll always be a place for you in my thoughts And I know that I will never feel the same without you Perhaps one day you wont be so bare Don’t think that human absence has made you depressing You’ll be fine, more so than me, I know Unaffected by events, you’ll never have to bare any burden greater than some dust, a couple cobwebs, a floor covered in dirty laundry, or a broken window Replaced and repaired if damaged You’ll be cared for And it’s nothing to get upset about, though insects might tickle I’m sorry for throwing up everywhere those times I did But you never scorned me for it And you never wanted to teach me any lessons However with your help I discovered the pleasures and downfalls of solitude You were my first Rest well, old friend; I’ll miss you
