forever; it dances about on my palm
but that is no matter-
it could dance just the same on thin air
if only lover werent so fleeting
and my eyes werent nearsighted
i can give you only this;
yesterday, today and tomorrow
that is all
and if that is not enough (which is nearly always the case)
i must apologize now
i make no promises i cannot keep
the flowers are dying in the vase
a token of your affection; shortlived and sweet
but nothing ever stays...
i both fear and envy forever
wishing and knowing i could never take the stability
insecure and faultering mentality will not allow it
but please, offer just once more?
i've turned it away no less than half a dozen times
six or so claims that i have stolen yet another heart
and so must owe forever to repay
in debt of forever, and so i claimed bankruptcy
i gave up forever...
can i never have it back?
what i have now...a shadow of a memory in the making
nostalgia to taste years from now
a palpitating heart that isnt truely mine...
this is forever...right?
if this isnt it
then what is?
