Forever became yesterday

The silent echoing sound Of rhythm I could hear forever, Attuned eyes glared in wonder As I swirled in sanity profound To rhythm of wishful thought The beautiful ray on bare skin, As you held me close to your embrace I saw forever in your longing eyes Maybe the sun mocks my delusion I stare in loss of the path to walk, Path of forever not mine to take. What we had was carved in mist, A dream too fragile to awake. Your voice, now a distant hush, Fades between twilight and ache, And I, a shadow of once forever, Hold on to what time couldn’t fake. The echo sleeps where love once lay A truth too loud for hearts to say. You touched my soul, then slipped away. And so, forever became yesterday.
