Forever
I walk the roads of life
Wondering where they lead
Smiles and tears are at hand
Lonelyness much feared
Time is of essence
Essence is of time
Loving is knowing
But knowing is a crime
A touch can be so tender
A kiss a waste of time
Hope can be so slender
Forever I hurt but smile
My heart aches
Sleepless nights, Endless days
The sky darkens, my smile slips away
Day rises
A name upon my lips
I wake from a dream
Realization hits
