Forever Don't Last You said forever with a smile upon your face. It's said when I think how quickly I was replaced. Phone calls every once in awhile to say your okay. We're still friends but you've gone your own way. There were so many things we had left to do. All the promises left unspoken. But know I sit here crying my heart broken. Forever don't last as long as it used to. Tears at the funeral as we said goodbye. I know I promised I wouldn't cry. Seeing you there cold beauty intact. The tears began to fall before I could react. There were so many things we had left to do. All the promises left unspoken. But know I sit here crying my heart broken. Forever don't last as long as it used to. We all have someone we promised forever to. We've all stood hearts in hand, from someone untrue. We've all been touched by the death of love. Spent nights crying to heaven above. Because.... There were so many things we had left to do. All the promises left unspoken. But know I sit here crying my heart broken. Forever don't last as long as it used to. Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence the most. |

Well, color me stupid or give me more coffee because I didn't get it at first. I was like "Gee how can they call once in the while but be dead" ohhhhh hello, the death of the love/promise...good lord I need more sleep. Anyway, I always say I no longer believe in "happily ever after" which of course is the theme of this write. Good job, I really enjoyed it once the fog in my brain cleared. Susan |

I was a little confused to start with, like Susan, until I figured out what the death was of. This was a good one. Is it a song? It does sound like it with the repeated chorus. "Love makes the world go around" |

i always dig time/change imagery in ended-relationship compositions. i'd like to see (presuming this is intended to be a song) how the delivery of the words would be done-what would get sped up, what would get slowed down, etc. |
