Forever Isn'T As Long As It Used To Be

You softly whispered
In my ear the words            Forever

But somewhere your 
Eyes told me that                Is Not

True. So why must
My heart dissapear                 As

If it never existed.
It used to be pure                Long

Before you came into
My perfect world                   As

Polite as you could be
To win me over. But              It

Never seemd true in
The small obscure words      Used.

But I believed your
Gullable lies anyway,             To

Cover what has been in
My head shouting to              Be

Free. Faint words refused
to be heard from what           Is

A weak concious. People
Say love is real. Well, is        It?

....Whether some need to hear it? Say it? Believe it? Or dream about? Sadly though, it is often abused; whether intentionally or not!? Yet, as Carolyn also said, it can 'never' be said enough between friends and family members!!!:):)~Smile, I hope that life has been treating "You" wonderfully dear lady~and that "Your Good Friday & Easter Sunday Will Be Blessed With Over Flowing Joys & Love!!!":):)....cont....

Catherine, your message comes through loud and clear, even without your note. People who say they will love you "forever" are not always up to making such a commitment. It probably just feels good to say the word. "Love" is another overused word between men and women -- not talking about the love for friends or family, in those cases the word love can never be overused. Very good observation in this poem, and cleverly laid out!
