Forever

 

You told me “forever”,

and I thought it was true.

I hoped it’d meant, forever would remain,

together forever, me and you.

 

But what does “forever” mean, I questioned-

until the end of time were you mine?

You could easily reassure me it meant even longer.

So I quit searching an answer; figured all was fine.

 

We began to slip away from that day;

I knew Forever was approaching us.

I quit hoping, and waiting for us to change.

A dishonest shine formed your eyes;

Still, you were never there; always away.

You carelessly looked past my cries.

And secretly returning to her, I wasn’t aware.

 

Then you threw me away, and I found out of the lies,

and the “love” you gave was merely a disguise.

I now know that in your eyes, my love,

my heart’s only paying its dues as it rips in two.

I’ve found that by you, forever means-

until you’ve found someone new…
