Forever not
Sunday, September 03, 2006
When I was young,
fairytales taught me the story of forevermore.
Prince and princess would reside,
in palaces where abundance joy hide.
Yet as time trickled past,
the dawn of realisation had never been greater.
What stood out as a sweet childhood memory,
I could never envisage to be an apocrphal story.
You realise that forever is a well-contrived phony,
meant to tug children soundly in bed without agony.
It is built on the premises of promises,
yet it never lasts against the test of time.
Perhaps someone will come and teach me,
do I hold on to a lie or do I recline?
Is it still wrong to believe that an illusion,
will one day become my reality?
