I don't post my poems online very often but here's one that I just felt like writing for some reason and thought I'd share with you all. It's called 'Forever' and is about the passage of time and how difficult it can be to adapt to changes in our lives. It isn't about anything or anyone in particular but the emotions are based on real experiences.
Forever
It seems as if a thousand years
Have passed and worn me out,
Taking with them all my strength
And the fire I could not live without.
The air I breathe consumes me,
My mortal vessels begin to dry.
I feel life flowing through me
Yet in this weakened state I lie.
Watching those years from a distance,
I wonder where they could have gone
If time had stood still for a moment
And given us chance to right our wrongs,
Where would you be if I told you
That tomorrow I'd make you mine,
Would you be here to hold me
Until the end of time.
