Leave
I want you never to
come back
walk out of sight
and don’t
tear your eyes from sunlit horizons
while you are trudging onward
open your eyes to the world
and never
think of me
always
warm your heart
with the sunlit horizon
forget everything you once held here
but don’t
leave.

The author's comments:
This is a poem that you can read both forwards and backwards. Read each line down, and then (starting from the bottom) read each line back up again.
