It's Only Forever

You buried me in the labyrinth of your mind,

weaving in and out running into The Goblin King himself!

Giving into him and staying in the kingdom,

till you decided to stay too long and transformed into a goblin yourself.

I still hear the sweet nothings you burned to in my ears the

night before as we laid side by side, naked souls conjoined.

Little did I know the beetle was ticking louder than ever and

time was fading away on my journey too free you from the

king’s clutches.

Once I arrived it was too late.

He had taken you and shaped you into his minion,

your piercing blue saucers were all that was left

Holding out your slimy green hand you asked for

a final dance

The words you spoke have echoed in my ears and we floated

across the dance floor

“It’s only forever not too long at all”.

Weeks have gone by like years

your words still, embed themselves into my air

I no longer can smell the stench of the eternal bog

And I can longer feel the warmth of Ludo’s mangled fur

For you are gone now, lost to the king.

Maybe it is a good thing for,

You have no power over me anymore.
