Is It Worth It? Poem by Athos Antinori

Admire them from afar,
Like the beautiful star they are.
You want to feel them close,
But is it worth it?

Your eyes will melt,
And your skin will burn.
You will turn into dust,
While they keep on shining and sinning
With their mere existence.

Is the cost of turning into ashes worth it,
Just to feel them close for a brief moment?
Where their brightness makes your irises explode,
And the heat makes your soul melt?

Is it all worth it,
Knowing you will suffer and see your timeline end,
While this is just another of many memories,
Part of their existence?
