“Forever’s Nothing”
Nothing lasts forever,
And never is the
Worst, or maybe best,
Kind of forever.
Promise me nothing
And I’ll promise you eternity.
I don’t want promised lies of love.
I don’t want promised empty certainty.
I just want you blaintantly
Honest with me, with you,
So if you decide to stay
Past tonight,
Past tomorrow,
You can say
Next week might be ok.
But nothing lasts forever,
So let’s let it alone.
I’m happy calling this nothing
Because something always
Breaks. Cries. Aches. Dies.
And I’m ok with this living.
Nothing lasts forever.
Please keep this forever nothing.
Never and as nothing is how I want to love you.
Please know that’s never true.
