Forever and Ever

By Midnight Phoenix

Sweating sadness
Earthquake shivers
Purging from thoughts of infinity

Crying screams
Helpless distractions
What happens to all of the meanings?

We crept from the shadows of nothing
To taste the sweetest offering
To only find that we will lose it all in the end

My heart aches at the simplicity
My stomach turns wild with anger
I’m so alone, but it only gets worse

What really matters to us?
