Change
Angela Manalang Gloria
I have outgrown them all, and one by one,

These loves I took so mightily to heart
Before you came; the dolls that overran
My childhood hours and taught me fairy act;
The books I ravished by censored score;
Music that like delirium burned my days;
The golden calf I fashioned to adore
When lately I forsook the golden phrase.
And then I shall outgrow this love of you
Sooner or later I shall put away
This jeweled ecstasy for something new
Brand me not fickle on that fatal day;
Bereft of change that is my drink and bread,
I would not love you now, I would be dead.
