Embracing No Forever.

I'm tired of being lied to these days,
so sick of hearing about an untrue forever,
that's supposedly real...but I'm not dumb,
you can't fool me for the better.

I see the cloudy skies and the misshapen rainbows,
you can say you see the sun, but you won't one day,
and you'll apologize for pretending you understood,
"now I see exactly what you cried over", you'll say.

And I could say "I told you so",
I could see it coming a million miles away,
but only because I know how it goes,
because we all feel the same one day.

I lie on my living room floor and soak up the sun,
the window on the door lets it break through.
Warmth could consume me, but I'd still feel cold,
like the sun gives me a glow, but I'm a shade of blue.

I see a true forever in the sky,
because its forever miles away,
but I can never see it in your eyes,
because you never plan to stay.

The stars are true and they'll always be up there,
twinkling and shining light into these eyes of mine.
A soft glow you won't see forever, just because,
you won't be here forever, but only for a short time.

I raise my hands upwards,
to embrace the only trueness I see...
but as my hands reach higher,
I notice it won't reach back to me.

And that's when I wish you could have meant a true forever.
