[The Crow and The Star] Little Story

[In a vast plain where the light should not prevail, with all from above coming to fall, and instead of a moon to guide the way, just a black dot in the place stay.

Sitting together in front of a fire was two beigns.

One as tall as a tree, with long hair black as the skies, hard to see in a place like that. 

The other not above a human, but definitely not one, with hair like the stars that are gone.

Suddenly, the tall look at the short, and start to speak, in a melodious tone for whom hear he.]

Tell me little star, do you think that hope exist?

A rope to escape the hell that await

A way to get out the death that come down

To change the frown in the child's face

Whose just the horror found in our desperate world

That don't care about your word

About your voice

About your soul

That don't care to know

What's inside your heart

And careless tear you apart

For entertainment, money, a passion maybe

So I think, is it really worth to see?

If everything that is here is just caos and sadness

Sometimes I desire just to feel less

Maybe simple throw away the part that love

Maybe just to another place move

Maybe be capable of see through

That terrible present

But, apparently exist someone who care about us

And sometimes I question myself, who would He be.

So for a little longer I will prevail

Until Him I be able to put in my sight 

And so in my bonfire I be able to put a veil

Or drown in this ominous night.

[The Star change the look from the fire and stares into the black one, with an obvious annoyed face while the sound of the fire seems to decrease and the world seems a little bit more dark.

With just a pause to arrange her thoughts, the white one take a breath and then start to speak, with a voice filled with passion for whom hear she.]

Tell me old crow, what do you really know?

Did you see the skies when they are blue?

Or just the reflection that the darkness let pass through?

Did you heard the voice of a peaceful ocean?

Or just the echo inside the seas without motion?

Like a being without emotion

That already lost his mind

Together with the negation of one of his sides

Tell me, is still alive who's a piece of himself denied?

Is still in action who is now just a fraction?

If someone throw away his heart

Is it a being or just a part?

If you still can answer me I will wait

But please tell me before its too late

Only with my heart the fire will go away

And I don't like the idea of catching a cold

Without considering that I'm not bold enough

To stay in that dark night

Just us without a bonfire.

[The Crow seemed not very impressed with those words, but still a little moved, maybe because of the passion in her voice, maybe for the light that get brighter from the bonfire.

But still, his thoughts are not shaken by what she said, and he start explain his point of view, what is not entirely new.]

I don't think that I know

What looks like to be alive anymore

After so much time staying numb

Living it's just a work that I was meant for

Not one that I like

But only I can do

Staying alive so the memories lives too

So the histories don't be lost in time

The love words be remembered when the doom arrive

The fights, the wants, the desire that existed

Only I can endure make the assistence 

So they can stay here

For as long as possible

After the world crumbles

After the skies fall

When the ocean start rumble

When the darkness start to call

May my soul be molten in tears

Of a dying young star

But I won't forget anything

Even if my mind break apart.

[Hearing that a frown appeared in the Star's face, worrying for her partner, or for whatever would happen if she stayed alone in that place.

And when she looks at the old one face, it's easy to her to see that it's more dim, so wanting to help, she starts to ask him.]

Tell me, are you still here?

Or you already gone ahead?

Do you still hear me?

Or you already gone mad?

Tell me old friend

Why do you seek so much a end?

Why don't you just stop to live the moment?

Why do you say that existing is a torment?

What do you see that I can not?

It's the time? The reasoning? It's when everything stops?

Just tell me so I can know

How to help you not go

How to make you wanna stay a little longer

How to make you stop suffer

Tell me please before it's too late

I don't think that I can make it without you old mate.

[After that, the dark one face seemed a little less dark, but still his look it's not the better one, but even then a gentle smiled appeared while he feel the worrying in his partner, not for a cruel reason, maybe just for feeling that someone cares about him, or about his usefulness, not that he cares what is the real reason.

And then, to not let the bright one more worried than she already was, to her he starts to speak, with a tender voice, he shows that there isn't really a choice]

You don't need to worry little one

And please don't be afraid

I will not leave you alone

But to love the life maybe it's too late

I've already seen so much

To now like such indescribable barbarity

That's called life

How could I seek a reason

If I already know them all

Knowing what desire is behind what frown

Knowing that the near end it's just a step to another story

And I will remember everything and only I will remain sorry

How could I like that kind of hell?

How could you ask my will not to fell?

I know too that it's not your fault to be afraid

But my friend it's already too late

The only thing that I promise you that I will do

It's stay as long as I can to not let you suffer too

[By the time he stop talking the black dot in the skies seems a little bit wider than before.

The world was not always like that, but they knew that there's not much time anymore

Where the stars would shine to bring hope to the skies, just darkness can be found

Where the voices should speak the memories for who seek a way to find peace be capable to feel anything apart from the numbness, just the silence of the oblivion is the sound that can be heard.

And in that dying place, two souls still wandered, not truly expecting something new to occour, but most not wanting to give up.

Maybe, that's the so called hope, not really knowing that a change they will find, but not willing to give up without a last fight. Not now, not in this place, even if everything blackout, maybe one day will apear one grace.

And just as a remark, of someone that maybe won't be here for so long, hear the words that are written with a heart.]

There's never enough time

To see the world around us

To feel every kind of emotion

To tell every word in our minds

But maybe our letters someone will find

Maybe they'll learn from our lives

Like we appreciate the skies

Knowing that'll fall

But still something worth to be

Not source of someone fault

But words that tell what to seek

Pointing our choices

And the results of ours desires

Not something really noise

Hopefully just loud as a fire

That even after dead

A new spark him set

A new flame could rose from it's cold body

And it got away without a thing to be sorry

Well, this is just a thinking that I had when I looked into the moon

And knew that the darkness that approaches it's something new

So, tell before it comes to us

And please, don't make it a fuss

[With just the two of them, the Crow and the Star already know the end, but at least they can find some solace in each other, as one can spark a flame in the heart, and the other is always there to bring the calm in some part.

And when you see the soul that you know that is your other part, you wanna know, what did he/she see in me? Or, what do I see? Maybe, that what they think too, even while being other beings.

Maybe that's why they question each other a single thing. And expect a answer without lies.]

What do you see when you look into my eyes?

{I see the sparks that there flies

I see the love, the life, a reason to stay alive

The passion that burn like stars

And a motive to be affar

Not from you, but from myself

Because I realise that I'm my own hell

That there's more than just suffering in this place

That would be good to stay awake

And the worst is that I know

It isn't a lie

But another perspective to see the life

One that I only get when I look to you

So it's better if I stay away

For you not to suffer too

Because it's clear one thing to me

A star and a crow was not meant to be}

[The Star, was in silence until the Crow stoped. And then she heard again when he speak.]

Now, look you into my eyes

What do you see?

{The abyss calling to me

He whispers my name like a Song

Making me want forget the Sun

And drown in those darkened oceans

Just staying still, giving up in all the motions

And find in the oblivion a new kind of emotion

But I know that I can't

Even if I want I can't give away

My freedom

My soul

My heart

Even if it break me apart

I am not just flesh anymore

To my desires devote all

My thinking, my body

The purpose I was made for

But there's no way to just defeat my enemy

And that's why this is the dangerous fight I've been in

Because is the one that happens inside me}

[The Crow heard the voice of the one that he called a partner. And within the new knowledge he maybe find a little peace.

And while the skies darkned, and every light seemed a little more dim, the two of them stayed in the bonfire.

One with a heart, by the time pulled apart, without any fuel to continue to burn. With the duty just a crushed soul was awarded and a burden to heavy to carry with just two legs. And still, it's alive. And like a abyss calling, a solace to a passioned mind it could be.

In the other hand, there's a heart aflame, that it's own body started to burn. Like a little star without control that was send in to a world that was faded to crumble and fall. It couldn't find any peace and mercy in a place that just hurt anyone who fall. And still, it's alive. And it could spark inside a burdened heart a new reason to live in that forgotten place.

Maybe the so called hope would be worse than just the death, but still it seems that not everybody it's willing to give up right now.

Maybe that's enough to change one more frown.]
