Until The End Of Infinity

Broken bones

Broken dreams

Broken hearts

Broken homes

Still skipping meals

Still shopping for deals

Fading friends

33 years old

And I begin again

Still smoking too much

Always in a rush

Missing pieces of my soul

I have holes

Still alive

Still alone

Drinking liquor

Because I miss her

But the whiskey

Whispers to me

Saying,

‘You’ll love her until

you reach the end

of Infinity.’

So I swim through outer space,

stopping to chat with the stars

‘Just how far

can love go?

Do you know?’

I ask them.

They respond with silence.

Still chasing the sun

Searching for a purpose

My expectations

messing with reality

The scene plays out

and it's not like how I rehearsed it

Fleeting feelings

Lovers becoming strangers

Suns setting

to make room

for the darkness

where the stars dance

If you have the chance

to love truly

Don’t hesitate

Don’t wait

Don’t let it go

Hold onto hope

Life's been full of:

Broken bones

Broken dreams

Broken hearts

And broken homes

But loving her

Made all of the bullshit

Worth it

And I’ll love her

Until I reach the end

Of infinity,

Or until the whiskey dreams get me.

I wonder which one will happen first? . . .
