A contronym poem
Left: Departed or Remaining?

The Contronym contest entry
I chose the contronym "left" for its versatility. In the first line, it means "departed" while it's antonym in the final line means "remaining."
Below are all included uses of the word "left":
Line 1 - Departed
Line 3 - Departed
Line 5 - Cardinal direction opposite of right
Line 9 - Bequeathed
Line 13 - Caused/created (by the eyes)
Line 17 - Abandoned
Line 20 - Remaining
This is not a biographical poem; it was composed specifically for the contest.
