Forever Doesn't Exist

We all speak the word forever Though we know nothing lasts that long Time slowly strips away, stealing every word ever spoke Every day and every night speeds up Every clock that ticks will one day stop Then one day our lives change And nothing else ever will seem the same. Forever is a myth To which we crave truth Yet in that truth, there is a spark that lies That if nothing lasts then let us strive to make every fleeting moment live. Even if not forever, carved in stone, But right now, for our breath and bones The end will come, shall we resist We will dare to live where none persist.
