Time is not a concept, it’s a preconception created by people that have never felt love. Or, so I always believed. Now, I sit awake every night thinking about our expiration date, the day to which we meet a bitter demise. A demise devised by a whole world around us, a world that will never see the shrink sticker stuck. The ticking won’t stop on the time bomb of us, as we leap, crawl, roll, dart to our expiration date. We can’t stop rolling, faster down this path to a little place that will be our personal hell. A hell that we believe in, a hell that he is counting on, a hell that hath its fury, a hell that I am dreading. Yet, everyday I take your hand, kiss your fingers, caress your lips, and stare at the brilliance that is your eyes in an attempt to forget our expiration date.

Expiration Date
Time is not a concept, it’s a preconception created by people that have never felt love. Or, so I always believed. Now, I sit awake every night thinking about our expiration date, the day to which we meet a bitter demise. A demise devised by a whole world around us, a world that will never see the shrink sticker stuck. The ticking won’t stop on the time bomb of us, as we leap, crawl, roll, dart to our expiration date. We can’t stop rolling, faster down this path to a little place that will be our personal hell. A hell that we believe in, a hell that he is counting on, a hell that hath its fury, a hell that I am dreading. Yet, everyday I take your hand, kiss your fingers, caress your lips, and stare at the brilliance that is your eyes in an attempt to forget our expiration date.
I will probably edit this in the future, but I wanted to post for the time being.
