Once upon a time when I was dead
and life still had meaning.
I made a wish for the greatest gift of all,
or so I thought......Life Eternal.
I know the saying be careful what you wish for
but I paid no head.
I wanted to live forever upon my greed,
to have everything and everyone that I touched.
As time passed the days started to blend,
I began to understand what I had done.
Watching people grow old and die passing me by
learning what was really important in this world.
After a time years became decades
and the glimmer of love lost its shine.
I learned never to stay in one place too long,
out of fear the truth be found.
My heart began to blacken
knowing my dream of eternity
would become my curse, forever.
