Leaving Poem by Gary Revel

I was going yesterday
Or so I had planned
But now the battleship has gone
And gone unmanned

I wasn't there to see you
As you waited to see me go
I guess I've always been leaving
With nowhere to really go

The time will come eventually
When I will truly leave
I don't know why, or when or where
Or if it's time for me to grieve

I don't know who will wait for me
I don't know why they would indeed
If it's you I hope you'll find
That truth does truly set you free

I was going yesterday
But now I think I'll wait and see
If going's got to be my leaving
Then going's going without me
