Forever Means Goodbye

On filmy wings of fantasy And abruptly ending dreams of what can never be, Technicolor nightmares and whispered screams Unending if only for now. Piercing darkness fills the mind Solace, silence too loud to find. Sweat-stained sheets and memories Beg irrevocability. Love me, hate me, let me go I beg you please, I don't want to know. But, that's today, tonight, right now, Tomorrow that could change. Tempted by finality What could that blinking beacon be? Why can't she just let you go? Hell, why cant I? Sinking sickness, heaven and hell, living rather than existing, Where no angel dare dwell. Demons drinking from my despair, Lost ne'er to be found. Fools and wiseman have often preached Only those with souls can be reached. And only those without a heart Would do what you've done to me. Supposedly, a suspicious mind Marks only those with something to hide. But not where one would expect to find... I know what you'll do - I don't trust myself. Temptation breeds wanton deceit, Festers, grows, emotional defeat. Betrayal beyond what words can say Mind and body and soul. What happened to forever and always? Guess your life still had too many days, To fun any sense of eternity With the one you know it belongs to. And when I can't play naive anymore And I find the strength to show you the door, Don't ever think you can come back to me. Forever means goodbye.
