Eternity

Before time before space before matter Eternity existed It sat through it all Unchanging unbending through it all Eternity was lonely There was no one to talk to No one to love No one to hate There was nothing Nothing to lay on Nothing to hold Oh endless eternity Why exist When nothing exists Except you Eternity was so lonely It decided to have other beings So it split itself Into three parts The past The present The future The past was a girl Who always remembered the loneliness But is trapped in it She always feels nostalgic But isn't willing to move on Always Looking behind Stuck In eternal memories Never looking Towards her siblings The present And the future The present is a man Bravely marching forward Never looking back But in doing so He neglected the past He acted without care And disregarded the future He never cared And he never would The last child Was the future A child of myriad possibilities A child That can be anything you want it to be A child That kept looking towards the yonder Wondering what lay ahead While neglected By the past and the present The future Turned out Nonexistent And heartbroken Their father Returned them To their origin Once again Leaving eternity All alone
