The Fable Called Forever

Not all love stories are meant to be poetry

Some love stories are the making of obituaries

Not all love stories are meant to be in love

Some love stories are the making of wars


Everything is fair in love and war, someone once said

And love was never the same anymore

Once you've drawn parallels between love and war

Bloodshed is romance; inflicting wounds, foreplay

Piling corpses are but martyred lovers, after all




But then, what happens to the ones that survive the war, once the war's over

But then, what happens to the ones that survived the love, once the love's gone


Shipwrecks don't believe in forevers
