i / don't want to / live forever / i / don't want to see the sun / go / down / i / don't want to watch / the ones I love / die / and yet / be standing still / like a wisp of grain / willowy / and unmoving / i / don't want to watch / my husband's skin / grow leathery / until his eyes seal up / and his heart stops beating / but the dull thud of my own / still drums against my ribs / it's not like / i feel alive / i / don't want to watch / my children gasp for breath / grasping my hands / in the hospital / i / don't want to lay / the bodies of my grandchildren / in the grave / before i lay down / myself / i / don't want to spend / every night alone / trapped in a circle / of a life / that won't ever end / i / don't want to feel lonely / till the end of time / i / don't want to go to bed / hoping each night / will be my last / i / don't want to live forever / because / forever is nothing / if i'm all alone / what is the precious nature / of life / if it / at any moment / cannot be taken away from you?
a/n: i roll my eyes every time i hear a song that says "i wanna live forever!" because do you really?
