Deserter

I will leave you one day, abandon you,

Forget all the promises I made, and the

Pictures I carry today.

I will just go away. No last

Poems to bid adieu, no last

Autumn for us to cherish together, sitting

Under a park bench, yellow leaves swirling

All around. There will just be a plain goodbye,

And nowhere to go. Someday, I

Will erase myself from your memory. I will

Abandon you.

And you will forget me.
