How does forgetting feel like?

When I thought I'd forgotten you, it was no one other than me that I'd lost.

The inky night sky resembled the state of her mind
As she was forgetting him slowly with time
She had dreamt of a starry sky
A bright night in moonlight
Along with him near a gleaming lake
But all of it has been long buried
In that graveyard of memories inside her mind
As she was forgetting him with time

Long ago, in a world of luminescence
She chose to reside, reside with him
Only to end up with her heart burning to ashes
As the world shined by her heart's incandescent light
Eventually she gave up the light
And decided to move to the world of dark night
She tried to forget him in her plight
She did what she thought was right
Right was to forget him, forget his sight

He was like a ghost to her,
He whispered in her dreams and
Shouted in her thoughts, never leaving her alone
His voice mocked her, his laugh poked fun at her
She used to wake up in the midnight
Desperately running from his honeyed web
Slowly she emptied her mind, she miserably
Failed in the start but her conscience left her with no choice
She succeeded in steadily forgetting him with time
But at the cost of losing her heart and mind

She still struggles with that empty void
Which once had a soul which used to be overjoyed
He still sometimes visits her in her dreams in midnight
Sometimes in that graveyard or in bright daylight
Causing her to wake up shivering & staying up all night
In blissful agony as she was forgetting him with time.

Author's Note

Some feelings are worse than nightmares.
