– StarDust –
I hold a fallen star in an empty sky
to mark the world I have left behind.
My life has caught fire,
and now I am standing in the ashes of me.
Dusty sparkles fill my eyes;
Debris from the cosmic winds
that ravage the remnants of my home.
The dust settles upon the barren walls,
once painted in colourful memories
of my journeys of life and love.
These quicksilver tears only serve
to make me ever more mercurial.
I can create those worlds again
from nothing but my stardust shatters;
And when all that I have made
again returns to smoke and ashes,
the work that I have done
to reach such heights
is all that will ever matter.
All stars are born and must die;
It is only a matter of time
that are able to see them.
