Here's for all the people
Who never made it
Who broke without anyone to save them
Who tried and failed
Or never tried at all
Who crack and splintered and smashed
Into thousands of pieces
Gone from the world
Into the abyss of unknowing
That calls all our names
For the ones who have left us
Hurt or intact
Broken glass glimmers
A reminder of them
Their memories with eventually be lost
As I leave
As you leave
As everyone who was close
Or had just met briefly
We'll all leave
At some point or another
And sometimes
We choose to say goodbye
Before we break completely
