If Only I Wasn't Made Of Dust

If only I wasn't made of dust,

The rays of the sun wouldn't pass

Through my soul and show-

Everything broken inside me.

The scars wouldn't bleed out light,

And the night wouldn't be my comfort.

The stars above, burning to death, 

Wouldn't taunt me. 

For what I am made of,

Is the remains of their ashes.

Lifeless, lustrous, ruined shards,

And hence nothing of my own.

Nothing-but dust. 

Never quite dying, never quite alive. 

If only I wasn't made of dust...

It wouldn't hurt so much.

A raw piece. Profound and hard hitting. Very well depicted. Great job.

This is eloquent and beautiful.

That was very nice , and you know if we are not made of dust we wouldnt have neen human, maybe angels, maybe devil, maybe i dunno !!, many things but not human and God have chosen us to be the best, and since nature is life ,and we are from nature, then we are the life itself.
i loved your point of view, If only i want made of dust ,it wouldnt hurt so much, true ,because we are human,. and hey withought getting hurt you cant know how the good life tasted like :D ..keep it up
