Forevermore

In a state of grace

I saw a mistake

A beautiful red rose carelessly thrown

And a throne once so great and golden

Turned to dust and has been forgotten

I saw a door, it was jammed with petals

I took them off, one by one

Till they turned to coins

They gathered into a pool and I felt myself succumb

I fell like Alice into a hole of agony and numbness

It turned more mysterious when I saw a man

Sitting on a rock in a dark room with a book

His face was made of scars and wounds and he never looked up

I fell again in a whirlwind of symphonies

I opened my eyes and saw a galaxy

I saw the true beauty of a blemished time

When death was death and human was mine

I caught laughter in the air around

I fell down, once again to face the children of sound

They laughed, they cried, they tasted blood on their arms

"Clean your dress, Everly, you're not supposed to be dirty" her mother said

I watched in bemusement as she huffed and puffed and swatted her hand

I took a larger plunge and sat above the clouds

I glanced at my creators as they bowed  

Forevermore

Forevermore

Tearing it down or ripping it apart

It will forevermore stay hidden nevertheless scarred

Kept safe and tucked in the heart of a man

When he took a ticket to fly to Neverland

Prayed and vowed and paid the price of freedom

He never looked back on what he's abandoned    

But forevermore

Forevermore

He won't be forgotten
