Forever
Forever is the fingers of a skeleton pointing toward doom Forever is the shadow over everything The stutter in your step and in your heart The moments between the moments that matter Forever looks a lot like the nothingness of space A cold empty dream of time The infinite stretches between finite hours when nothing happens The pause as we speed toward the collapse
