ballpark

Alone I sit in my chair,
Without any type of care,
but in my heart I do fear.
And I feel the sadness of a tear.
I'll leave soon and am no more.

A lonely feeling drips down my face,
And leaves a scar of disgrace,
It's power so longing and so deep.
I listen to its sound as it creeps.
I'll leave soon and am no more.

The haunting sound while I sleep.
It bores me closer to my feet,
So very close to my door.
I leave you and it is no more.
I'll leave you soon and am no more.

First off - it's spelled leaving. Seeing that twice prompted me to leave this comment so it's not all bad. I found the poem a bit simplistic and while the message was crystal clear it wasn't all that poetic even though it rhymed.
