I called your name in the distant
Labyrinth of my heart,
Longing to capture you love
That has gone away.

You only heard the anguish
In my voice.
But you did not listen to me
As I said,
Come back, don’t leave.

You just looked at me,
And you did not really see.
Your eyes blank,
Your face grave,
Your smile forced.
From your pale lips came
A melancholy voice.
Goodbye,
You said.

You continued to walk away from me.
So I tried to follow your gentle steps.
But my endeavor was a futile one
For my body became numb.
I could not move.
I could not shout.
I could not cry.
I could not run.
I could not do anything but stand
still.

I looked at you,
A mere blurry figure
Drifting slowly
In the fog of oblivion.

I gathered all my remaining strength
And tried to move and break free.
Couldn’t you see?
I want you.
I need you.
I will do anything for you.

I gripped desperately
The last string of hope you have left me,
Not so long ago.
Until I was emancipated.

I wanted to rescue you
My love,
My life,
My all,
From the claws of forgetfulness.

A cold wind kissed my cheeks
As I ran to where you were.
But you were gone.

Tears were welling in my eyes
As I looked at you
Became a smoke,
A vapor,
Gently rising to heaven
Where you truly belong.
