True Love

I will not say I love you For love dies a dark death And the light I feel radiates from deep within myself I cannot stay by your side For your shadow overwhelms my soul And the sun always sets Leaving behind only darkness to chill the soul Your life is too bright For me to sit beside you And send you off on that journey to eternity I cannot watch your beauty be devoured by that cold light For if I were to hold your hand until the end The sting of release would plunge me into utter chaos So let our romance live in memories For death comes to everything Death comes to everything The sun gives way the dark night As the shinning light is devoured by emptiness The twinkling star Which once granted youths simple wishes Burns out before we even realize it’s gone Each second dies As it turns into minutes And the minutes Too soon turn into unremembered hours The beautiful glow of fall Fades into the chill of winter And the peaceful spring Succumbs to the blaze summer Love becomes tarnished through the years And beauty fades Nothing lasts forever
