• Life is...

    Life is what life is not...

    Life is not what was...

    Life was...

    Life was, what is, what is now not


    Life can never be what one wishes,
    Wishes are like metallic kisses
    Sent by fingers, by words, without feeling.
    Wishing is merely hoping,
    Watching a shooting star pass by
    And pointing, wondering why
    The wish was not magically granted then,
    And wondering when...
    Wondering when...

    You could wait for eternity
    Just for that wish to come to be
    But eternity rests not so far away
    In permanence at the end of the day.
    Could you wait?
    Calm and sedate?
    I know you can with peace inside
    But what would happen if I died?
    So devastated would you be
    It'd rip you apart completely.

    Piercing knives of the heart
    Rip, ripping you apart...

    For this... this is...
    This is life... and life... life is...
    Life is not what was,
    What now shall never be,
    Due to the paradox of eternity.
