Why Art
why art?
for destruction.
why me?
for desolation.
you fell for my art
and you dissolved.
i warned you,
i was more than
just a poet
rambling on words.
i am a shooting star
who can burn
but never be a wish.
i was meant to stay,
to shine,
at the exact same place
for millions of years.
but that's the thing
about me,
you tell me to shine
i will dim myself.
you tell me to stay
i will run away.
you tell me to love
and i will destroy.
i am a sinking ship
who can drown
but never uplift.
i wanted to cross
oceans ;
to move souls
with words or my heart.
but i dug holes
in the bottom myself.
i handed out the lifeboats,
whispered in everyone's ears,
"sail away while you still can".
i am falling
void less over the orbit
i am sinking
word less in the sea
while i watch you
cowardly sailing away.
- mana :)
