What is Left

So here I'll stay
A new recruit
In an old collective
Set adrift eternally
I know
I have bested time

What is left of me?
In this cosmic tragedy

Back home they'll say
He's the one who got away
Of the drifting man
Is this my legacy?
I don't know
Just a blink in time

What is left of me?
But a fading memory
A passing thought
Of an endless journey

Dusty photographs
Neglected artifacts
Serve as a quiet reminder
That I was here

What is left of me
Is a faint anomaly
A brief satellite
In a grander scheme
