i am good

for the first time
in my life
i believed forever
actually meant
forever
but
it wasnt

i am not surprised
there were no lies
the truth was
simply unseen
but i am
good

i am absent minded
to blades and bottles
no need to dull
the pain of
realizing what was
meant to be
will not be
and that being said
i am good

the sting of it
came quick
and unexpected
like a head on
motor vehicle collision
forever
crashed and burned out
finally
leaving

before going
my eyes hung heavy
with sad showers
and my words
came slow
and lacked confidence
the ice was thin
that was then
now
ive fallen into the cold water
forever was never
made to be
a floating device
i swam though
found the shore and
stood on dry ground

i am good
enough to know
my respect is intact
my resolve resuming
my heart will
continue its beating

forever is gone
but i am
good
