Imagine, After Forever
It is all the words lost, the swirling, the
missing dates and this slow evil poison filling me
and the darkness is creeping, creeping closer each day.
Give me your hands. Do I know you?
It is the pain, the pain that endures . . .
Now, flashes of beauty brightly spin and fade, oh
endless emptiness and lost words on my tongue.
And the wasting away of my soul, no more poetry . . .
For my safety I retreat- I leave this world for silence
to the past, the past, the past, where
everything is pretty and happy. Oh, the
reaching- the endless reaching for words and names.
Failure, failure, don't disturb my dreamy dream, where
only I dwell, happy! Now, give me my dolly !
Remember, oh remember our bleeding love lost, darlings
evermore in a magic land I dwell, where I am a beauty,
venturing and meandering, just a shadow of me . . .
Ever and beyond, my darlings, adieu, adieu ! Please,
remember me after forever when this heart beats no more.
