The Last Few Words

Your perfect radiant innocence shone
Through dark clouds who have come and gone
And though the rain shall fall no more
I know your love will protect me against the pour
Of harm and hurt and all things sore
I knew that I could not love you more
When I first realised that we were true
And through the fog of lies we fought
And truth, hope, and happiness we sought
We did what all good lovers do
Notice the use of the tense which is past
For no true love shall ever last
Always slowly it fades to dust
And the bright gleam of our eyes shall rust
And we shall say farewell to passionate lust
Like a statue it shall become so dull
And the love letters and poems all will be null
For there is no such thing as eternity
Never was, never shall be
Oh, I am in such agony
Due to the stupidly honest irony,
As on my first love song to you
I promised liquid gold shall replace your tears
Though always too soon, lately I realised
You are not, never were, and never will be here.
