was it worth it
to give away the universe?

was it worth it
to be why the stars faded?

was it worth it to be why
galaxies burst in great lights then disappeared —
why constellations had to be recreated?

was it worth it, my love?
was any of it worth it?

was doing any of it worth it?
was destroying everything worth it?

( was i worth it? )

please, answer me —
i can't stand this silence.
i can't stand here, waiting for your answer
when we both know that i should be restoring the balance.

i shouldn't be standing here
waiting on your every whim.
i shouldn't be waiting here
and simply watching as the stars dim.

and yet, here i am,
neglecting my duties,
ignoring my fingers which itch to put the universe back together.

all of this
( all of it! )
just so i can ask you:

was it worth it?

you probably won't answer me
despite reading this letter.
if so, then i hope i'll never get to see
if you'll ever ever get better.

i hope i'll never get to see you smile ever again
i hope i'll never get to see your eyes as they twinkle when you laugh.
i hope i'll never get to see you make another 'friend'
and break their heart in half.

( just like you did with mine.
exactly like you did with mine. )

i hope i'll never get to see any of that.
truly, i don't.
because all i really want to know in the end is:

was it worth it?
