If I die before you,
I shall build a home
Amongst the stars,
And watch the world go on,
And when it all halts -
With you,
I shall build another home -
For two,
Upon a different star,
And watch -
As all the world ends.

Humanity breaks
Upon a cracked star,
Swallowed by fire,
Crafted by ice,
Defeat is misspelled
For this desire,
To build up dawn,
From dusk’s respite.

For you,
I’d bleed roses,
And cry - daffodils,
And even the sweetest tulips,
Could not impel me,
As do you.

Bolder -
Than the hyacinth,
Braver -
Than the sun,
This quiet resistance
Of which spoke nature,
Fairly rivals none.
Prettier -
Than the midnight moon,
Stronger -
Than the stars,
This genial majesty
Of which spoke nature,
Cannot afford -
What mortality has done.

Let us leave
Our hearts behind,
Forget the days
And the sky - spread wide,
Let us rejoice
Among the stars,
Crowding the moon,
Chasing the sun - tonight,
Let us be
But just bones - tonight,
Armour - where our souls reside,
Let us be
But just a dance,
Eternal - tonight.

What is the point
Of these hands,
When all they do
Is hurt and tear,
What is the purpose
Of these arms,
When we are unable
To uplift,
What is the need
Of this nose,
When the smell
Of gunpowder assaults it,
What is the reason
Of this tongue,
When it refuses simple kindness,
What is the wish
Of humanity,
That dies
With every **** of a gun,
Of hope,
That tries endlessly
To prevent this earth
From fading to none.

If I waved to the stars,
Would they ever wave back?
If only
To put me out of my misery - tenderly,
If only
To shine their light upon me - momentarily.
