Oblivion

To wish away memories

Never give birth to pain

Letting remembrances remain in oblivion

Restless reminiscences roam unable to rest

Unsettle thoughts dangle from tears

Shadows of the past cast a sorrowful aura

Always a reminder of regrets that linger

Tangling themselves with the present

Morphing

Where is the You I become

Where is the I to myself belong

A face in the mirror morphs into

A new dimension of you

Open my mouth to speak

It’s your voice that reverberates

Everywhere I turn it’s your image

That appears

Slowly the butterfly returns to

The caterpillar

All identity gone

Now the question still remains

Where is the You I become

Where is the I to myself belong
