Old Friends Know About Forever
My friends:
the fire hearted nomads;
the hard headed lunatics;
the kids with lion eyes.
We used to be the roots of a tree;
veins of an ox's heart.
We used to be free,
but now we've fallen apart.
I said, you said, we said,
"This fire in my heart
is forever," but
naivety got the best of me.
Our fire died - and so - the tree.
The thumps of our ox's heart stopped beating.
Forever lost its meaning.
Comments are appreciated.
