Leaving Things

She left her earrings at the mall
He left his school books at home
She left her shoes in the cabinet
He left his trash in the dump
She left her treasure in her chest
He left his dog at home
She left her cat with mom
He left his coffee on his desk
She left her porridge to cool
He left her a love letter
She left him a love letter
He left his soup in the microwave
She left her soup on the table
He left his home to go riding
She left him to find another
He left his job to find purpose
She left her job to find happiness
He left the poor man on the street
She left the poor man with a quarter
He left the town to find something better
She left the town to find something else
I left myself behind
So that I could find a better
Self.
