They will push you away, tell you

to leave, but have no idea how good

you are at following instructions.

When you vanish, but your ghost

becomes a guest they cannot get rid of

and the memory of you plays

resurrection with their smile,

they will ask where you went,

if you will come back and why

you gave up so easily,

as if they didn't own the voice

that requested your disappearance.

They now know solitude does not

scare people like us

and our absence is something

that we are not afraid to give

to those who call for it.
