Tears of relief falling
from eyes holding themselves dry
for far too long
trying to stay strong
trying not to scream at the sky
asking nobody why we're dying.

Fading fast because
emotions can't last as the cause
for our survival
our will is subservient
and our utmost denial
is severely inconvenient
to everything trying to hold us together,
everything trying to promise us forever.

Forever doesn't exist
within the confines of mortality
we pretend at invulnerability
because we are vulnerable.

Death stares us in the face
and we close our eyes.
just found 2 poems I had forgotten about in my st.ash. this is the first.

Reminds me of "all good things come to an end". I suppose the denial of life is worse than death itself.
