"Decorated Farewell"

"tears in the eyes
the love vanished in the sky
happiness or the fear
the emotions felt, I guess, were real
the feelings derived
were somehow rare; maybe
the heart knew
in a few days time
the TWIN soon would fly.
marking the place
the heart would abode
the boundary needed to be known
a place not her own
bidding farewell to the home
that was now disowned
a guest visit
maybe in every few months time
a quick recap of the childhood
left behind.
the marching footsteps
that ensured the exit
those footprints
that ensure the last presence perish!!
a look back on the memories
and leaving behind the stories 
to be inked in diary
probably with not so cryptic entries"
