Always Never

An observation of the way we attempt to use certain words.

Unending.
Perpetual.
Eternal.

Forever.

So many words contrived of the same meaning
The same entity. Used.
Continuously,
By a race of uncomprehending messengers
Every utterance a desperate forgery
for the things we wish to hold close,
to rinse the butter from our fingers
(to make famous hopeful singers).
A strength we can
Never
Reach
Trust me, I've tried - drawn blood on this boundary
that no one can breach.

Even memories fade
taking shelter in the shade
only to resurface
Different.
Ideally Contorted
Affluent.

Always Never
Concurrent contradictions
Confusing the Affliction
Of Time.
Time!
I want to buy more time
lather, rinse, Repeat
To fall instead of climb
A fate I'd gladly greet
Yesterday.

Author's Note

It was my intention not to have any specific form, this is just the way it leaked out of my head. Also, ignore punctuation and capitalization, as I pretty much ignored them too, haha.
