Bon Voyage

You're on a plane somewhere,
along the East coast...
As I search the house for extra boxes
to pack away my dreams.
A glass of wine and the Christmas tree
to brighten up the night...
Although the light was shed upon it all
before you left.
Almost a decade of memories
to take with me,
But I will leave all your lies
on the shelf.
An empty house that will echo
with your ego...
Will be all that's left
to welcome you home.
Cuz I'm taking my pride,
and my respect,
and my dignity...
And wrapping it in bubble paper,
to be put in a box marked
"Fragile. Handle with care."
Because I have learned
that if I do not
keep these things precious,
they get thrown in the back corners
of the basement,
forgotten and neglected...
Until one day I remember that I
have them.
And that's when I delared
Moving Day...
And dug them out and
realized
just how much I've needed them,
And I have no idea
how I've survived this long
without them.
So, bon voyage...
pleasant journey.
And when you return...
I only pray,
you say the same.
