2. …

so why bother, then?

willing to place your fragile heart in his cold hands,

a nursery bud just finding its bloom

searching a certain completion

that the flesh must finally surrender

for all of us are dust.

stardust, the romantics like to say.

still, dust all the way.

perhaps your words would have moved me

in another time.

i do not trust any more.

Oh, i know how humans change

they deceived me through my hundreds of years

and will deceive me yet again.

but i am not weaponless.

I bestow a single kiss,

and the stars will come falling down

and you will see the light that haloes me

as you fall farther away, and find that

your final rest is far below.

I had always warned you

but you laughed my words away

oh, how you laughed my words away.
