Evermore (poem)
She climbs the stairs outside her door
Which led to streets of evermore
And who can see within her heart
To what has torn her life apart
-
Her thoughts return to times before
When all her cares were hopes at play
How distant now is yesterday
Across this space of evermore
-
The flowers which blessed every morn
The scents were sweet kisses were born
The shadow of tears on the floor
Refreshing her vast evermore
-
Was just a brief heartbeat before
When doorbell would cause her to soar
And her precious dream to restore
To promise of their evermore
-
But there stood a stranger with note
Perhaps a love letter he wrote
Who knew of sad secret it bore
That drew her to his evermore
-
She climbs the stairs of unknown shore
Beside her tides of evermore
Was this to be a destiny
One more unfinished memory
-
But to wilted flowers she swore
That by his side she would remain
Tomorrow would greet sweet refrain
There in the streets of evermore
