"Always" and "Forever"

We always say always,
But always can change.
We always say forever,
But forever could end today.

I said I'd always love you,
But now I just don't know.
You told me lies and made me cry,
And told me to "Just go."

Forever seemed to die that day,
It ended pretty fast.
I found the truth in all your lies,
Forever's now a past.

"Always" and "Forever,"
Where did those words go?
You said I'll always love you,
And forever it will show.

I said I'd always love you,
And now I just don't know.
I told you that forever,
My love would always show.

I guess I gave these words to easy,
Though I thought that they were true.
For now I know that "Always" and "Forever,"
Was just a lie behind the truth.

Really like this line.. "Forever seemed to die that day," and the "lies behind the truth".  Good one, I enjoyed reading!!

"Forever's now the past"...

This is nicely done.... I like the way you develop your theme, Amy - Looks like you learned as much in English as you did in geometry...

"..just lies behind the truth"

Isn't that just the way it is all too often?  Wise words here, LiLOnE..
