Infinite

An enticing elixir

Forever.

We all say it’s what we want.

But beauty loses meaning

After time.

And the things we love

Become specs in a spectrum.

A fleeting and temporate fancy.

I don’t want to live forever.

I’m already bored of today.

And having an infinite number of days

Seems taxing to me.

Life holds value

Because it can end at any moment.

What drive can come from permanence?

I don’t need another excuse

To continue not to act.

The only motivation I have

Is that time will end.

And I will not have done all I wished to.

An infinite being

Is no longer human at all.

Because feelings become difficult

And the world passes without you.

And the people you love will die.

And you’ll remain

And your heart will harden like stone.

You will know all.

There’s plenty of time for knowing.

But no one will care what you know.

And you will carry on

A mind within a hollow shell.

That’s long forgotten love.

Give me death tomorrow

Over this harsh, tragic fate.
