Chapter Notes: The challenge was to write a poem based on a track from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. I chose "Obliviate" because it made me -- and Hermione -- cry, and any song that can do that to me in the first few minutes of a movie deserves respect, and, of course, a villannelle to go with it. :D

Cheers to Carole (Equinox Chick) for the crit and Gina (Gmariam) for encouraging me to use punctuation.

Even as my eyes fill with tears of regret,
I can barely bring myself to say that word I hate;
I know about me you will forget.

Even after all these years, I do fret;
But what needs to be done must be â€” itâ€™s too late,
Even as my eyes fill with tears of regret.

Even if I havenâ€™t even done the deed yet,
Hesitation is probably my best trait â€”
Still, I know about me you will forget.

Even though itâ€™s for our very needs to be met,
I can't bear to begin the agonising wait;
Even as my eyes fill with tears of regret.

Even when my eyes are dripping wet,
I can barely keep my wand pointing straight,
And I know about me you will forget.

Even as I prepare myself, take a deep breath,
And say that one word, which I hate,
Even as my eyes fill with tears of regret,
I know about me you will forget.
