Forever Come What May

You’re stardust and delight

Tossing magic left and right

Leaving those in your wake 

With minds swirling to create

Hearts on the brink of break

Soon you’ll be gone

Just a memory forlorn

Forever come what may

You’re destined in my heart to stay

Existing in a haze

Reflecting on days

You hung as the moon

Bathing cells in stars

Liberating minds from steel bars

Then you cast the net out to sea

Dispersing memories of how it used to be

The moon continues to hang overhead

The tide forever left to tread

Forever come what may

You’re destined in my heart to stay

Bittersweet torment of what remains out of sight

The present becomes an eternal plight

To survive in spite

I gaze towards stars

But our story rains like ash from the sky

The ghost of us crashes against my feet

On moonlit waves carrying sorrow and defeat

You remain a mirage at bay

Leaving a weary heart in eternal dismay

Drifting through life aimlessly

Hoping to forget this vacancy

Of what will no longer be, you and me

Forever come what may

You’re destined in my heart to stay
