There Is No Forever

I want the whole world to stop

I want time to lie down

and cry as we suddenly swap

places and I am no longer common

I clutch a cloud and ride the wind

I fly high whispering your name

but I can't seem to actually find

true love, a sparkling flame...

So I ground myself once more

sad and jealous of time

I'm no longer who I was before

so I drown myself in rhyme

I close my eyes and I remember

soft lips, a safe embrace

hope of a possible forever

arms to pull me back to grace

But morning came and took it all

and I laid naked on the floor

trying to forget the painful fall

like I did so many times before...

The sparkle in my eyes slowly dies

I slowly give in to time's will

the emptiness in me I can't disguise

and I know I can't ever fill

the hole in my heart you left

that will burn inside forever

this is a lesson I won't forget

there is no forever, only never!
