Short Forevers

by Michael Taylor - Taurus

This fake love,
Stay away from me.
I'll keep far away
from all that fantasy.
These paralyzed kisses,
obligated "i love you too's"
Keep far away.
It's all bad news.
deaf to the four letter word.
Heard it so much,
the idea's been blurred.
won't wear the heart on my sleeve,
love is so hard to achieve.
Tired of short forevers,
Nothing ever lasts.
With the blink of an eye,
you can be pondering the past.
Never quick to jump right in.
At some things,
i feel i'll never win.

Reason for writing:

    Loneliness was a major factor.  That long journey to find true love.  The real kind.  Not all this Lust stuff.  I'm tired of lust.  I want real love...
