when the trees stop their growing
and the seas rest their waves
the wind will stop it's moving
but i'll still never age
the clouds will cease their rolling
the gods suspend their reigns
the world will stop it's turning
and i'll still never age
the bruises stop their pounding
the cuts no longer sting
your voice fades it's resounding
and i still haven't aged
the ticking heals the wounding
time will let me be
in your eyes i see you yearning
but the catalyst is me
the sun will stop it's shining
the moon will dull to dust
truth embarks a journey
to find that love is merely lust
and deep within the crowd
you'll hear my caustic voice
warning you to stay away
love is but a choice
and when lovers have died
and shields are all the rage
i will linger on
because i have never aged
this was written way back when i believed i could be truly untouched by all the heartbreak that comes with "love."
live and learn.
