Everyday misleading
and fallacious reality
fabricated by
the erroneous

veracity that
forever is just never
created to spark a false
sense of hope

but forever is
unsympathetic and lifeless
created to enter
the madness of the mind

with no direction to be known
where nothing comes
nothing goes
you just sit
empty
alone

but in the midst of this never ending
nightmare,

i caught a
smile
of you
replaying
existing
in my mind

it was my first memory
my last memory
of
you

and it replayed
over
and over

like it was happening
right in front of me
just like the first time

and everything was okay again
just for a minute
because your smile
told me we would
survive

and the kiss
on my forehead
and you knew
i would be okay

because life
was pure

and my soul
seasons became one

and the clouds
were gone
and you were everything
in my eyes.

and love was old
and beautiful
and new
and forever
and lies

and my soul was sky
gone with you
because the clouds
reappeared
at night

and it was easy to see
everything in me
was all you

but then you were gone
and so i sit and wait
and wait
and wait

but forever comes never
because love lies
and every trace of you
was gone.

but your smile
playing over and over
in my mind

interrupting the never-ending madness
in my mind.

so I will continue to wait
and wait
and wait.
