Lightly


There are no books I need to take for I may have memories at some point and they are distilled and carried.

There are no words I want to take with me for they had no meaning apart from your endeavours to find something to get away with.

I need no excitement to take with me when I leave for it stopped more than years I can remember.

I need no faith to take with me you crucified everything I possessed not including the spirit that you attack but can not conquer.

There is nothing I need to take from you because there is nothing from you.

All I can take is the feeling that having lost everything, I have got away lightly.

So lightly I will travel

Until another song offers the same but a lesser period for milking of passion, words and money

"All I can take is the feeling that having lost everything, I have got away lightly"

Sometimes we are blind while in it and only regain sight after it is done...

  travel lightly..it's better that way.
