Change

by: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 art;

The books I ravished by the censored score;

Music that like delirium burned my days;

The golden calf I fashioned to adore

When lately I forsook the golden phrase.

And thus I shall outgrow this love for you.

Sooner or later I shall put away

This jewelled 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.

  1. She has outgrown everything she has ever loved and will outgrow the love that she feels for the person she is talking to.  But she doesn't want to be called fickle when she "breaks up" with him because without change, which is as important to her as food and water, she would be dead inside.  That is basically it.  And a good poem too.


  2. I never could understand poems I guess I don't have much of my left brain working.

  3. it kinda sounds like someone is growing up, and outgrowing different things. the end. . .??
