Oblivion

Images fade away like
pictures carved on the sand
It was a day in autumn
You and I holding hands
That was a sweet moment
We were having dinner by candlelights
Oh, the day I made you that surprise...
I just see them going away
held by a thin thread of repentance
The only thing that puts my memories together

They are not important anymore
Lost, few, insignificant remembrances
I watch them shatter in tiny pieces
taken by the wind of time
Like dead leaves from a tree
Lost, bitter, forgotten fragments of a dream

Everything is fading away
Names I forget, faces I don't recognise
People I don't see, dates I don't mind
Memories that are not mine
I thought I would never part from them

You're gone
I shall become myself again

The day after you

I wake up
It's 4pm and I'm still looking for answers in my mobile
Nobody is calling me and I should be ok
I'm not...

I thought last night was special and you'd stay
I thought I had finally found someone
Who said I was looking for someone anyway?

I look in the mirror and lie to myself
I'm not as old as I think I am
But not as young as I wished to be
Time is passing by and I'm growing tired of meeting strangers in the night

I take another glass of wine
As thoughts run through my mind
Some music is playing in the back
"Falling hard for you"
I don't want to meet anyone

I turn off my mobile
I switch off the lights
I'm gonna sleep for the rest of the day
And see what happens then...
Maybe you call
I'm gonna sleep for a while
"Heaven help me now"
