Lethe's Water For The Soul

~Drink the water
swallow it down
forget
become anew~



as everything starts fading
into oblivion
he crosses my mind
for the last time

we danced
what seemed
like a waltz
yet slower

no background
no scenery
just us
slowly moving

something in my soul
wanted to hold on
to his memory
a moment longer

as if it were
imprinting itself there
a soul lesson
never to be forgotten

the murmuring begins
my being becomes heavy
my soul still holds him
everything slips into the black infinite
