If Nothing Lasts Forever Poem by Prince ....

If nothing lasts forever
why do I keep trying?
Maybe I should give up now
or perhaps just keep on lying...
for being in denial
hurts less during the day
though I dig a deeper grave
there I shall decay
but would I decay there forever
if forever dosnt exist?
If I wanted to I could
because I belieave in forever
The only tiny thread
that holds me through the pain
I'll hold on to it forever
until it snaps and lets me fall
The little thread did say one day
that it would never break
it will never let me fall
a promising mistake
Lies will get it no where
nor will it for me
I'd just come crashing down harder
to an unforgiving sea
to steal my breath
to let me die
to let me hurt
free to cry
But for now I'll make the best of it
because this could be the last night
we both can hear it
the sea calling an invite
Please my little thread
tell me just once more
that nothing lasts forever
oh those words I might abhor
but say it now, loud and clear
so I can laugh at the thought
with a sly smile and a wicked laugh
I will say 'why not? '
