Are You Ready to Leave?

The ups and downs
The fight and strife
Will you make it through?
Together and whole?
Or will the strain of loneliness
Be to great to bear?
Striving for what you want
Will take you away from what you have
Are you ready to leave?
Are you ready to grieve?
For what you lost
Something you held so close
A first love burned to dust
