NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

 

Nothing lasts forever

Nothing is that durable

Nothing is built to stand the test of time

No matter how sound the foundation

It will fall apart

 

Love is among the list of shoddy structures

Love doesn’t last forever

Even though we wish it would    

And we can make the case why it should

And list the justification

“Because I need you”

“I feel so lost without you”

“I don't want to be alone”
No one is listening

There is no ombudsman

To hear your grievance and arbitrate

You have loved and lost

 

But knowing it won’t last forever

Doesn’t soften the blow

When it comes to an end

It still hurts like hell

And the pain seems to last forever
