Nothing Last Forever

Nothing ever last forever, best
 of life's treasures, have a way in
 disappearing some way or another
 maybe just a blink of the eye, or a
 day dream controlling your logic.

 The things you don't care about,
 last forever, they have a way to
 fervently stay around irritating 
 and never leaving.

 Thinking positive is the best of
 medicine, causing no confusion, no
 thoughts of anger, no dangerous
 images, focusing in the mind that
 is negative.

 Everything we have, lost, or won
 are many of our dreams of reality
 or broken ambitions, that just seemed
 to have disappeared in our own thoughts
 and imaginations.

 Everything we ever had, loved, appears
 to float away, with so much sacrifice to
 achieved the goals of that impossible
 dream, held it, watch it fly away without
 a second glance, how we thought we
 could accomplished this task we wanted
 so sweet, turning bitter sweet in the end
 of to much clutter and disconnection.

 We take much bad with the good
 but sometimes it only hurts so much
 having that something you loved and
 lost like a snap of your finger, leaving
 those dead leaves of autumn blowing
 in memories of once upon a time.

 The rose is always beautiful 
 when it first opens, but after
 the pedals start to fall, it is
 throw away, this is the way
 life is, you live it when it is
 beautiful, taking everything
 for granted till one day, all that
 you loved, just turn away from
 your torn thoughts, and you left
 all familiar surroundings, dreams
 behind without a tear.

 Breathe in the sweetness,
 live to the fullest, you'll find
 that the most important things
 never disappear, only hide
 away till there ready to be
 appreciated..
