100th Opuss

Drip drip, tick tock
Time is just one big clock
Colors all iridescent

An old nation, a new discovery
A new invention, an old story

Things change fast
But I can remember the past
Memories all blurred
Some voices still heard
Things may fade, some linger pained
It's all part of the price paid

Chained to life's wheel
While mortals break off
Free from the steel

Life forever is not what you think
You get to watch all rest sink
Live with your loved ones pain
Forever&always a stain

Knife at my back
I smile, feel free to attack
Blood runs from my cheek
I wish it could make me weak
You never die
But death becomes all you want
You wish you could give it a try

Immortality curse
What could be worse.

Forced Immortality.

I never asked to live for ever, Never wanted this. All I took was a look at him, And fate did seal this kiss. I never wanted immortal life, Never wished for this.
