Free Cee ----- Nuclear Haste

NUCLEAR HASTE

Forever is possible for those who believe
Some other’s forever, like her's, made this man grieve
Forever is a dream for those claimed certain
While for me forever is akin to a lead-lined curtain

She said “forever,” I heard the lady declare
Alas, for people like me forever is unceremoniously unfair
“forever” sometimes makes some people cry
Especially when one’s vow of forever is flaccid and a naked lie

I heard her vow “forever” but wish I had not
Because for lovers like myself forever is an unfair plot
My lover’s “forever” faded into a mist of mystery
Since for lovers such as me forever meant misery

She said “forever” but her forever offered an unfortunate fate
Until my forever became a forever filled with hate
Perhaps she voiced “forever” in a hurry and with haste
But as for me the only thing that is ever forever is nuclear waste
