I'll Love You Forever

Where they have gone?

I’ll Love You Forever

 

The sun shines on my face

But I feel so cold

I put a smile on my face and brace

For our arguments of old

I we will shout

We’ll throw pictures and plates and cuss each other

We’ll let our feeling out

Then silent through supper

Where are those honeymoon days?

They seem so far away

Like distant memories on ships slowly fading away

What keeps us here

At this table together?

Is it love or is it fear?

Where one goes one must follow

Our I love yous are hollow

No more warmth no meaning

Another stray word flies forth like a bird

And once again tempers hit the ceiling

 

Was our love not true?

When we first said I do

I swore I loved you,

Put a ring on your finger

You said you loved me too.

And I could think of

Was how happy I was to spend the rest of my life

With you

 

Now years have past

And the ones where were in love

Are at the bottom of hour glass

Like shooting a dove

Our love is just wrong

In the beginning it was easy

But we were young

And we were dumb

To think that, we were meant to be

I know times have been tough

I know I said I’d be with you forever

But it has been long enough

I like how the title of this piece leads the reader into thinking the opposite; it makes them think more about the message of the poem. Well-written piece!

Sometime forever meaning changes with time. We become different and must separate. I like the thoughts and the ending to the poem. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Don't all relationships hit that point? I like your style. Packed with realism and insight. Well done.
