Sad Songs Remind Us Nothing Lasts For Ever Poem by Ravi Kopra

Sad songs remind us nothing lasts for ever
Life comes and goes. Love comes and goes

We rise to heights. We fall to the ground, eventually,
Nothing lasts for ever. Everything has its life

So while we live. Let's live fully
So while we love. Let's love fully

Tomorrow you may be dead
Tommorrow your love may end

She may throw away your ring in the gutter
and flit to her new lover as a spring butterfly

Or you may drown in the caresses of your new woman
and wonder if living with your boring wife is worthwhile

Someone will be heart broken and come to writing poetry
to remind us - love is as fickle as everything in the world is.
