That night
I traced our hands in chalk
On the sidewalk where anyone could see
I proclaimed, in pink dust,
"S+N 4 ever"
How stupid
How could I forget?
Forever isn't real
It's delusional
And pathetic
And any person who promises you forever
Is lying, to you and to themselves
Because forever can't happen
Love is not meant to be forever
Not for me
Love rips through me like a storm
And leaves me damp and disheveled when it's done
Back in the dirt
Like the nasty little worm I am
