Poetry

you said forever.

Take your time
To feel in the forever
Changing my mind
I wanted to die
Over and over
All those hopeless times
With you

I slip further and further
Failures were mine
To live
Over and over

It never felt the same
When you said forever
It never felt the same
When you said forever

Close your eyes
Never speak
Again
Bleeding in time
To sauce you hate
Again

Take your time
to feel
In the forever
You wanted to die
Again
Over and over

It never felt the same
When you said forever
It never felt the same
When you said forever
