The Things I Leave Behind

Blogs
Scripts
Software
Relationships

Meticulously
Passionately
Obsessively
Lovingly

And then
They are done
Or not
I’m done with them

Bored
Distracted
Exhausted
Moved
On

I leave the thing
The project
The endeavour
The relationship
Behind

Languishing
Decaying
Mouldering
Smoldering

Neglect gathering like rust
On an oil drum
Left to time
To the weather

And then I have this oil drum
An eyesore in my yard
Reminding me
I never really see anything
Through

I wonder if
I have ever really
Loved
Anything … or any
One
