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
