Forever, how long some hope to live
and love.
Forever young, you and I wish.
Forever and a day, some say.
Forever, a fool's dream, the stuff of made-up,
the glory written about and the pity sung
in songs.
Forever,
and ever,
and ever,
and forever more.
Forever everlasting forgets color,
forgets sight, sound, touch and love.
Forever forgets the annals of history,
has no beginning, has no end.
Forever forgets time all together.
Forever has no future, has no past.
Forever, there are no commas to pause,
no exclamations to emphasize, no periods to stop.
Forever is the dark before the star is born and
the dark after the light is gone.
I hate the thought of it,
and even that shall never last forever.
