I've always known that love lasts forever But forever might not be long enough Memories that we will never sever The present is trying to call its bluff Loving the old, the constant, beautiful Both live with an undying faith for God Always have been hard-working, dutiful Though beautiful, both the best kind of odd Both will receive an everlasting life Began when it became love at first sight Perfect man and woman; husband and wife Both birds waiting to take their chance in flight To last forever is the biggest wish Souls swim away in the river as fish

Forever
Those three words are said too much To understand what they really mean Like a record from the past, I play Will you listen to me sing? My heart was the metronome Sending waves, Beats of love Throughout me Thousands of volts of heart-quake began When my eyes met the light bulbs in your Eyes What beautiful poison they were But so misguided I was I wandered around the abandoned carnival The only sound, Breaking of mirrors as I saw what truly was me I saw you in my eyes Lights shining, but why so bright? Leaking golden radiation into the depths of my despair I left that day My mind divorced my body and all reality, Oh the ugliness left behind I ventured inside your dreams and realized, Maybe I'm not perfect, I Send shock waves, Wander, Break whatever it takes But today, it wasn't I that did the breaking You, Broke my heart

Beautiful Poison
Dear soul, you've got a lot to say. Speak. Dear brain, you've always been right. How? Dear legs, you've always been my strength. Fall. Dear arms, you've been the ones to raise me up. Drop. Dear nose, you've revealed all the fakes. Sniff. Dear eyes, you've seen the game of life. Blind. Dear heart, you've shattered with every tear. Heal. Dear me, you've survived through it all. Break down. Soul, when will you acquire your voice And give your long awaited speech? Brain, how could you have been so right When everything seemed so wrong? Legs, when will you give out And scar from the fall? Arms, how have you been able to hold me up When everything else was pulling me down? Nose, when will you expose me? Eyes, when will you stop functioning And go dark to the world? Heart, how will you piece yourself together When I cry every day? Me, I'm sorry.
