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.
