Nothing Lasts Forever
“And when your fears subside and shadows still remain”
Dark places floating in rear view mirror journeys
on empty highways, slick and cold but in the past
Within my hand I hold you, warmth finds the place,
leaving behind the sorrow on leaf covered shoulders
“I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame”
Taken upon my soul, those incisions of pain, deep
Draped on heavy sighs and forward motions
Cast aside, tossed for loss, rendered useless
and my heart sings for you, come to me for I shall love you
“So never mind the darkness we still can find a way”
Shrouded in worry, clouded escapes stood firmly
Together we can draw back these curtains, embroidered blankets,
revealing the next hillside spilling a sunrise
in bright smiles and good memories rejoicing
“'Cause nothin' lasts forever, even cold November rain”
***Italicized lines are lyrics from Guns n Roses "November Rain"
This was inspired by Christy Stover's poem "I can't hear you"
