What Do I Mean Something Or Nothing

To the crowd

I'm noise

Or voice

A choice

Or void

Deployed

Do I linger

After leaving

Their ceiling

Like smoke traces

In forgotten

Places

Do my words

Grow roots

Bear fruits

Or die

Where they

Lie

Am I a chapter

They revisit

Or skip it

A wound

That stings

Or sings

A name

They keep

Or sleep

I watch eyes

Search signs

Find lines

Trying to know

What survives

Goodbyes

Do I mean

Something deep

To keep

Or nothing more

Than a shadow

Crossing doors

Perhaps that's

Every heart's

Art

To spend

A lifetime

Giving

Without knowing

Whether it became

A memory

Or a ghost
