I'll never say forever-
I'm learning from the past...
"Forever, dear"; and, "always",
Just never seem to last.

Love is so elusive-
Yet passion's all around.
I'll never say, "Forever"-
It has a phony sound.

So often I have listened-
To the siren song.
Of everlasting happiness,
I wonder what went wrong?

"I'll always love you, baby".
Too soon turned into hate,
I learned to fear "forever",
But learned it far too late.

Some say that I'm a cynic.
Some merely call me fool.
I guess that I'll admit it,
Too oft emotions rule...

My swan song is a sad one-
Dirge of a poor lost fool,
I never say forever,
The echo is too cruel.

This is a fine story of emotions often felt by many.  Ken J

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
