Forever seemed like a long time-

Till the sun kept rising and setting for the moon,

The roses were crimson, the sky was blue

Up until my wrists felt a movement inside-

Forever felt like forever, never-ending.

Perhaps when forever ended,

It took away the sun’s love,

The conclusion brought a void;

Withered roses with no smell and numbness

Forever seemed short, it began and ended with you.

The time after is prolonged-

The contained lines kept moving in circles

Again, and again, and again
