Leaving

Goodbye.
Au revoir.
Auf wiedersehen.
Arrivederci.
Reaching farther into the depths, 
Goodbye.
I cannot fight this necessary evil
but I can take the soul-
it has become a part of mine.
And now I have places that
are my refuge, places
where dreams became reality,
and I'm taking them with me-
home.
