Forever Is Really Never
Remnants of the past cast shadows
on his points of view
an attractive conversation
with no literal honesty
Pained at the cause
those scars that remain
Those lies on your breath smelled of raw sewerage
Tears showed every crease where rivers flow
my heart has melted in the middle of your road
now requiring tow.
I remind myself that everything ends badly
or comes to a close
though my hearts without resolve
when your forever is really never
when what I really needed was this lever
to take your weight off my shoulders
~I haven't stopped growing~
