Forever

I see them born,
I see them die.
I watch them love,
I watch them cry.
Forever I shall watch and pray,
knowing one can never stay.
Immortality has come to late,
it's a yearn one learns to sate.
A decision I hope I burn in hell with
forever.

I fell in love,
my heart flew away as if a dove.
I pleaded to God to let me stay
to let my love live another day.
He granted my request
told me it wasn't the for the best.
Now I wish to grow old,
but I know my soul's already been sold
forever.

For now my love can never see,
that I'm an angel, cursed to be.
My love is dead and gone,
 now I see I was in the wrong.
I see the laughter galore,
but in my heart I know one day they'll be no more.
One day I wish to die,
and let another desperate soul let a day pass by.
One day I hope they'll learn,
that one day they'll all burn.

I like the lines:
For now my love can never see,
that I'm an angel, cursed to be.
