Don't hold my hand; it's lifeless.

Don't touch my heart; it's broken.

Don't read my mind; it's hopeless.

He is my forever.

Eternal damnation eternally denied,

Empty house in the woods- whisper still.

From the very moment it became pointless I cried.

He's still my forever.

If I scream his name, my voice ringing out,

Will he hear? Come running to me?

He should be closer- no need to shout.

For he is my forever.

They were so true- his lies.

My life's one shimmer,

From the depth of his liquid topaz eyes.

I never thought we were forever.

So I run to him; save his soul,

My lion's arms icy cold.

In a broken place, so whole.

He is my forever.
