What comes to mind

When you hear that word:

Eternal

 

Is it life everlasting?

Or maybe more

Eternal

 

Is it our love?

And longing for each other

Eternal

 

When I think of this word

I think naive

Yet maybe it isn’t so

Eternal

 

Many of us are ignorant

To the fact that,

Our daily lives aren’t

Eternal

 

It is so much better

To get used to the fact

That our lives aren’t

Eternal

 

It would truly be

The most horrific of curses

Living forever

Eternal

 

A curse that, I

Would never want for

Even the most hated of foes

Eternal

 

However, maybe our memory

Is the door to this

This wonderful, but frightening

Eternal
