Long Before Her Time

-Long Before Her Time-
by Keaton Foster


She lives
She loves
She desires much
More than
I’ve got
More than
Most could ever possess.

She storms around
Under every cloud
She feels much pain
Significant compared
To every other
Self-inflicted
Are her wounds
Hemorrhaging belief
She won’t thrive
She won’t survive.

She will only die
Long before her time
She will take her life
Via her requirements
Such a wanting mistake
God won’t forgive
How could he ever
I myself
Lesser the deity indeed
Will forgive with ease.

I have watched for years
For a lifetime to be exact
I stood by
And said nothing
As she has obliterated
Everything good in her life
As she waged her war
For much better things.

She’ll never be happy
She’ll never be content
She is incapable
Thus unchangeable
The end is the only thing
The only way
She’ll be saved
From herself
And all that she’s about.

Long before her time
Is her chosen fate
Her only way
She’ll suffer desiring more
But in the absolute end
She just won’t get it
All she’ll ever have
All that she will possess
Is the same nothing
That she started with…
