Your whispered promises, they still echo in my mind
Forever and always, a love that would forever shine
You held my heart with a gentle touch
And vowed to love me, through every moment, every clutch
But now, I'm left with just a shattered dream
A heart that's broken, and a soul that screams
The forever you promised, it was all a lie
Leaving me with tears that won't dry
You said forever, but forever's come and gone
And I'm left here, all alone, with just this ache
Wondering why you walked away, and left me to decay
And why the love we had, faded like the light of day
Forever, a word that meant so much to me
Now it's just a memory, a bittersweet melody
A reminder at best of the love we had, and the love we lost
A memory that haunts me, like a ghost
But still, I hold on to the love we shared
Hoping that someday, you'll be there, to mend the tears
Though you said forever, and forever's gone
My heart still holds on, to the love that we called home.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
