if you came to me with a face I have not seen, with a voice I have not heard, I would still know you. even if centuries separated us, I would still feel you. somewhere between the sand and the stardust, through every collapse and creation, there is a pulse that echoes of you and I.

when we leave this world, we give up all our possessions and our memories.

love is the only thing we take with us.

it is all we carry from one life to the next.

STARDUST
( memories ) lang leav

they'll ask was life worth it
what have you done
and I'll whisper back,
oh this life's not yet done

for as long as I breath,
there's things I can do
they'll ask me my story
and I'll tell the truth

think of the mountains,
majestic and proud
think of the grass and how it's trampled down
think of the sun,
how we welcome and chase it
think of me darling when I'm missing from this place

I don't believe that I've done enough
I've loved and I've laughed
but still have regrets
of the times I said no,
when I wish I said yes
was this life worth it,
I still can't seem to guess

for when I am gray
and when I have wrinkled
they'll ask if life's worth it
and still shall I whisper

I've cried and I've screamed
to the moons and the suns
seen time pass too quickly,
and not fast enough
wars have moved on
and people have died
you tell them my stories
after I'm gone to the sky

and if you still have to ask
if you still have to question
if this life's worth it

think of the stars in the heavens
think of the quiet glass seas
think of the people you saved,
before it was too late for them
think of all the people who left too early,
and can't help but wonder, if you could've saved them

oh and I will shout back
the answer of my life

make it worth it

for life ends no matter what

WORTH IT

haha I hope y'all like that poem thingy lol, I feel so weird sharing something like that despite the fact that I wrote it ages ago!! I was telling Syd when I decided to put it in (and also asked them to check it for me) that this is the weirdest I've ever felt about publishing anything!!
