I Don't Want Your Eternity
I don't need
The future. I have too much
Future already. I want
The past. I want your life.
To watch empires rise
And fall. To witness
The earth's turning.
And not just see;
To act! To shift the course
Of history with a word.
To remember it all.
All of it. Every second.
Some bitter torture I'd accept
Willingly; beg for it.
Because it is a safe wish.
It is something I know I cannot
Have.
I wrote this a while ago. Actually, as an assignment for English, but, as I was thinking about Forever Knight when I wrote it, I figured why not post it here.
