poems with no names

xi

ø

If I’m lost tonight

Will you cry for me?

Whisper my name 

for one last time?

If I say goodbye

would you let me go?

Or hold my hand 

until midnight?

I know you’ll remember 

I know you’ll care

If your poor dear friend 

had disappeared. 

But forget about me

Erase the traces 

for when december comes

I won’t be there.
