So You Won’t Know

Everything we never want to say.

When you wake this morning,
 I’ll have a note
    on the pillow
   next to you
     
good. bye.

only two words
to tell you
 I’m gone
 
I won’t leave an explanation
 I won’t characterize damnation
I will starve you
   of the simple gratification
 to knowing 
    why I’ve left
There will be no foreseeing
   the many reasons 
    of my leaving
 
all this so you won’t know –
 I will miss you once I'm gone.
