| Perpetua sighs and leans her head to the side In perpetuum Smoke traveling from her open mouth Twisting and spiraling to the sky I remember how she would make wishes On falling meteors In perpetuum Do you ever wish for anything, she said I told her how I never do How I don't believe in anything But her wishes were never for herself She was always a much better person than me We were leaned against a car in her drive way Where I had asked her to be mine An eternity ago In perpetuum I wondered where the time might have gone I wondered how a kiss might make her smile or cringe But I know she was searching for things to say Somthing beautiful Somthing coarse Anything to keep us alive In perpetuum I watched as the smoke twisted off her lips And into oblivion I think we've been trying to forget each other But I know I never will You will never have to remember again Lacrimus oculos suffusa nitentis In perpetuum My Perpetua |
