Whether the stars disintegrate

The earth spins off its axis
Thrown to the ends of space
A lifeless rock
Aimless

Whether everything we say and do

All our passioned moments and rage
Collective burnt offerings like ashes
To gods that men have drawn and idolized
Timeless

Whether my love is wasted or found wanting

Two steps back to watch the carnage begin
Our lives entangled in the strings we knot
Tighter like nooses around our necks
To drag us to the gates of Hades

If it be so

So be it
