It's a little long, but I needed to get it out of my system.  I'm sure many of you know what I mean.  Any criticism is welcome.  Especially if you have a better title for this. =).  Hope you enjoy.

"Nothing Lasts Forever"

Standing on this beach,
Our troubles go away.
Hurt, pain, and worries
Will no longer stay.

Our fears melt away
Into the rising tide.
We have entered Eden,
Bliss can no longer hide.

The bond that we share
Burns hotter than the sun.
We could embrace each other
Until kingdom come.

But nothing lasts forever,
A precedent we can trust.
The sand and sea were silenced,
And Eden turned to dust.

That which we avoided
Returned all the more.
More hurt, more pain, more worries
Than there ever was before.

You almost lose hope
When dealing with the stress.
You deserve Utopia,
But fate dealt you a mess.

Increasing with each passing hour
Your burden pulls you down.
What once smiled at all the world
Has now become a frown.

But nothing lasts forever,
A precedent we can't fight.
Behind the darkest shadow,
Lies the brightest light.

You gaze into my eyes,
With a look that all is lost.
I want to take it all away,
No matter what the cost.

Some things can't be helped.
A lesson we both must learn
The bad comes with the good,
But we hope good returns.

Optimism is our new goal
And trust in everything.
We can pass every trial,
No matter what Fate may bring.

Nothing lasts forever,
A precedent to some.
But there is a stronger precedent:
Love will overcome.

Get rid of that it didn't flow right. but the rest was very good. i cannot pick a favorite stanza because  I liked it all. i loved your usage of eden and the descriptiveness. It was a good length.

i agree WOW it's great and don't worry about how long is as long as it says what you wanted it to
my favorite part was
     We can pass every trial,
     No matter what Fate may bring.

     Nothing lasts forever,
     A precedent to some.
     But there is a stronger precedent:
     Love will overcome.

Hey, I liked this mucho! I just picked something small, and it still sounds fine but yeah. I guess some people on piptalk just say WOW great, but give no helpers out. And piptalk is about that, so here is something I thought clashed!!

Standing on this beach,
Our troubles go away.
Hurt, pain, and worries
Will no longer stay.

Our fears melt away
Into the rising tide.
We have entered Eden,
Bliss can no longer hide.

I think the line 'are troubles go away' and the first line in the second stanza 'our fears melt away' when I read it the two 'aways' that you had sorta clashed, maybe you could change one of the aways to something else. I'm not too sure if that made any sense but hey ) Just trying to help you out. Good job
