THE CITY WILL FORGET ME

June 21, 2023 in English Poetry

The city will forget me.
There will be new footprints in the sand,
And mine will wear off.
There will be a new scent in the air,
Taking over the one that I left behind.
There will be rain pattering on the window,
And I won’t be there to hear it.

You will forget me.
There will be new names,
On the walls of your heart.
Mine will be covered.
Somewhere in the back,
Forgotten.
