How Long Is Forever?

How Long Is Forever?
He wonders does forever last a lifetime – do things change,
and how long is forever; that’s the thing he’d like to know?
And is it possible to sometimes later rearrange,
so things can be forgiven that had happened long ago?
Or is he seeking now forgiveness, though there’s none deserved,
for things we shall not speak about; for best that’s left alone,
still dressed in darkness of the past; things known but not observed,
and hidden yet from prying eyes - his own sad twilight zone.
This subterfuge had been a work in progress now for years,
a secret he alone must know, and never tell a soul.
The price he pays is never ending - cloaked in secret fears,
the burden that he carries - still continues to take toll.
