thoughts

what do you do when forever splinters and tears?
and you are left with shadows and memories
that turn to vapor in the sun
what does forever bring that youth can't outgrow?
and the eraser will always be more powerful than the pencil
because time doesn't stop for love or grief
the only certainty in life is pain
and yet without the pain, where is the meaning?
