The Shadows

She’s leaving tomorrow

Cause she has go

This town’s full of a sorrow

That he’ll never know

She can’t go on walking

In memories shade

She’s through with talking

It’s the price that she paid

The nights they were together

She let herself depend

They held one another

She never thought it would end

But as nights turned to days

And days brought new light

She was just a phase

And it just “wasn’t right”

So she’s leaving tomorrow

The plans are all made

She can’t go on walking

In memories shade

I've posted this poem before.... but it seems so appropriate now.... okay so I'm not actually leaving til Saturday lol but the idea is the same.  I wrote this poem over 9 years ago when I left Swan River.  Now I am on my way back and its Flin Flon that I want to leave behind.  I've learned a lot here, made some good friends but mostly I figured out who I am and what I want... The truth is I ran away from something in Swan River... I think I needed to and now I think I need to go back for a lot of the same reasons I left... Funny how life does that to you...  I'm looking forward to the new chapter... No matter what it brings.
