Reckless Reaper

They say nothing lasts forever,
We’re fated to embrace the hurt,
Our lives shift like the weather,
But memories in our head still flirt.

Raw tears with soundless screams,
In a blink we find ourselves crawling,
Chasing our loved ones in deep dreams,
Fighting to heal, only to remain falling.

They say nothing lasts forever,
But forever is what we promised,
Promised to never be alone in the endeavor,
But life never told us it was honest.

I say everything lasts forever,
Lucid memories, memorable hearts,
All the pain, grief, sorrow a treasure,
It is only making you into a work of art.

And a work of art you are.
