Forever....?

It was something that was supposed to be
Forever
And the words: "Nothing lasts forever" has meant more to me
than any other words that escaped the lips of
the one who
held me when I cried
the one who
gave me strength
the one who
I fought for...with my heart.

It became something that my heart couldn't take
the lies
the apologies that I could see through so easily
She didn't want to be Alone
Oh, She didn't want to be Alone

Thus, she took my strength from me
She forced it into herself, MY strength
So, selfish
(But we're all selfish bastards in some way)
and She talks with people "easily" like I did
and She's confident now, standing on stolen strength

But I see through your facade
(Did you forget the way I always read you like an open book?)
I still see the girl who fears to be Alone
the girl who desperately jumps from one person to the next
clinging
binding them with words of "I love you" or "You're my best friend"
The words you fling at me now, to let me see that you're better than me
(Oh, please, Karma, slap her in the face. Wake her up!)
I know you're scared; but they say mantras work
if you repeat them long enough

Just to let you know, my strength has returned to me
With some bitter words, but it's here
It told me to take things only at face value for now

Nothing lasts
Forever
