***Where Did I Go?***

I leave my life behind. Everything. But to where?
I know that
I left the house
the family I was born
the love I will miss
I left the street
and neighborhood
I left my city
and my province
I left my country
and my continent
I left the universe
and the galaxy
I left the pool of blood
I left on the floor
with my body shell
in the middle of the mess
where it happened

I died
but where did it lead to
where did I go
there’s nothing here
nothing to tell where I am
hell? no
there’s no fire
heaven? no
there’s no clouds
then where did my death
lead to
I’m gone
but to where
where did I go?!?
