Nothing Lasts Forever



I place upon your grave
A rose, so very red
And though it's been a year
I can't believe you're dead

The times we had shall fade
As darkness turns to light
I'm wishing you were here
To make my world alright

Nothing lasts forever
And now I see that's clear
I never got a chance to say
"I'll always love you, dear."

As tears roll down my face
I turn and walk away
Knowing that eventually
We'll meet again one day

Howdy, everyone! I'm Zack and I'm here to tell you a bit about myself. I have a horrible sense of timing and procrastination, so as such, the poems that you read from me will more than likely be written in the spur of the moment. I'm what most people would call a "hopeless romantic". In my poetry, I've shifted from glamorizing the concept of love, which is the basis for a fair amount of my works, to writing it how I see it truly is: Good sometimes, bad sometimes, and mostly ugly. Drop a line if you ever need anything from me! I hope you all enjoy not only my poetry, but that of the other talented poets on this site as well! more…
