Nothing lasts forever

Josie 2005 (Washington)

Free verse

Will you still love me even when I can’t breathe
When my walls close around us
When the dreams succeed
Could you still love me when you know I won’t scream
When you know it’s time to leave
And I won’t be mad
Will you still wait when my fists start to bleed
When my lungs will only heave
Can you claim the bed when it comes undone
Because it will
Nothing lasts forever

About this poem
