Immortality

Some say they want to live forever

They say they never want to grow old

They say it would be easier

But

What they don't know is the pain

The pain of watching

Everyone you love die

Knowing you will never join them

Soon you decide it would be better

To be alone

Loneliness will be all they have left

The longevity if immortality is

No longer inviting is it

Because no one wants to be alone

Never growing old

Never knowing love

Always alone

That is the price of the wanted

Immortality
