An Eternal Immortality

Seeming of a blessing, that morphs into a heavy curse Infinite youth behind old eyes that behold a library of stories Every generation is what writes in themselves the next verse And the chains of morality fall off as do the endless worries Love becomes seamless and turns passion into gray shadows What defines worth is the eventuality of an unenviable end But when the clock never stops, and promises become narrow One finds themselves isolated in this oblivion without end But if this weight were to be bestowed upon my dark soul I would fall in love over and over and remember each dying flower And with each experience learn more of what is humanity's role Not stalling to invest in the meaninglessness known as power Drinking the poison from the lips of a thousand lifetimes Never to grow weary of the way it burns through every vein For what is the meaning of existence without this perfect crime? Regardless the sickness, what results in a world of pain So when the grains of sand reach the bottom of the hourglass And the strands of time itself cease to march onward My spirit evolving into nothing more than stardust and gas And the universe comes to a halt, no longer moving forward I'll face the cosmos of eternity with a smile of relief To see the beauty in this plane and be its admirer Setting aside for good the dewdrops of captured grief Leaving nothing behind to serve as a malignant reminder And there I sniff the flowers of a million sunsets~
