Nothing is forever.
Love flickers out. Scars fade. Diamonds eventually decompose into graphite.
The teeth along his jaw, the body grinding him into an unfamiliar bed…
Nothing is forever. That doesn't explain why, even years later, he can feel strong hands pressing down on his shoulder and wrist, pinning him like a butterfly to the corkboard.
Pulling at his hair, twisting his head up, his lips burning…
Nothing is forever, but time is not linear. It's moving too slow and too fast.
Over and over and over and…
He wishes forever would end.
