ForeverA Poem by Lana
My loneliness knows no bound
It doesn't run to a certain place It only expands As time stands still And the world continues to swing I can hear jazz music but I can't sing My loneliness knows no limit It only buys things on credit Things people get for free Like Love I was duped and thought it costs a million dollars to make a Friend A billion for a Lover I was duped and I thought people had prices That everything is a sacrifice That in order for others to stay You shall ask for a loan And only then they will think of you as worth consuming But although the bills fly out of my ears I am always alone Enveloped by a warm hug of indifference And when someone sees me They see the outer beauty They ask for a drink And I ask so what are you consuming? They tell me, honey Bees are simple beings They make honey to survive I get told by a certain age it will all be over No honey, only stinging I have to run out of perpetual loneliness But I think my loneliness is apart of me It knows no intolerance It will find itself accepting all kinds of loneliness Of nostalgia of the past that I've never lived Of a hole that cannot be filled It has no limit to where it can go Loneliness is all I know
