Oblivion (Phase One)

Do you still remember me, 

my child? 

Do you remember how

I used to look at you 

and how I would not be able

To hide 

all the affection I felt 

towards you? 

Did you know 

I still think of you, 

every now and then, 

my child? 

My eyes cannot disguise

the emptiness my heart was left 

when you were gone… 

Do you still remember 

that last embrace, 

my child? 

The one which separated 

our lives 

for good 

and forever? 

Have you ever thought 

how miserable I had felt 

for such a long time 

since that day? 

But, then, somehow 
and for a reason
I cannot really understand,

the Universe has decided 

to give me another chance 

and although you still live 

in some secret place 

in my heart, 

your memories have turned into 

just sweet recollections 

that are slowly,

but definitely, 

fading into 

a misty 

and irreversible 

state of oblivion…
