Until the end of time


meaningless words float through the air

As candle light burns a whole 

in our restaurant affair

wrong way down

 

Go straight and then turn around

you are blind if you pick 

yourself off the ground

don't go down that road

 

or it will be more than the candle that

is burning in this place

so many things you got

don't put them all to waste

 

you get up to leavebut

your chair holds you in

Like it's little mut

and even it wants you to stay

 

Walking to your car

you find your keys in your pocket

standing 10 ft. from the bar

and then it happens

 

There is a boom

the last thing you see is 

your husbands face 

 

Why were 

you there?

What happened?

He asks and you want to tell him

you never meant to hurt him

but even time has an end.

 

When we say forever

and 

Always

We really mean:

Until the end of time.

 

Which for some 

is closer

than expected, and for others

it is right

NOW

 

We think that time is endless

and we even try

to beat it with ignorant bliss

but no one controls time

 

Endless?

Forever?

Think Again. 

 

Meaningless words float through the air

as candle light burnt a whole

in our restaurant affair

Until the end of time
