Never

Story by Zenaki on SoFurry

Never

You tell me of days filled with hope

Yet all I am given is despair

Your lips speak of the truth

All I get are lies

I am told of a sparkling future

What I have left is a dark and bitter past

I hear your talk of forever

What I am given is the never

I dream of that future

That future built of gold

Craving that warm embrace

Never again feeling the pain

Instead I get a future built of lead

A frozen smile upon my lips

Constantly struggling through that river of pain

Wishing, always wishing it wasn't true

But the reality is

You're gone

And I am left behind all alone

Left behind with a handful of dreams

Forever left with the bitter taste of that possible forever

Yet all I have received is the never
