I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
And I -
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost

how long does an eternity last?

Sometimes just a second.

1. Mystery of love – Sufjan Stevens

The first time you touched me.
Oh, will the wonders ever cease? 
Blessed be the mystery of love.

2. No Time To Die – Billie Eilish

Fool me once, fool me twice.
Are you death or paradise?

3. Someone you loved – Lewis Calpadi

It's easy to say but it's never the same.
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape.

4. lovely – Billie Eilish, Khalid

Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone.
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone.
Hello, welcome home.

5. When we were young – Adele

You look like a movie.
You sound like a song.

6. Sirens – Fleurie

Out in the darkness, I saw an angel.
Held back the flood until the sky fell.
I see the future covered in roses.
Waves of gold as the door closes.

7. Sippy cup – Melanie Martinez

He's still dead when you are done with the bottle.
Of course, it's a corpse that you keep in the cradle.

8. Game of Survival - Ruelle

Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?

9. Dollhouse – Melanie Martinez

No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens. 
One day they will see what goes down in the kitchen. 

10. Safe & Sound – Taylor Swift, feat. The Civil Wars

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone,"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight.

11. I can't make you love me – Dave Thomas Junior

Just hold me close, don't patronize me.
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't.

12. Colors (stripped) – Halsey

Art is not what I create,
What I create is chaos.

13. Die a little – YUNGBLUD

All you gotta do is die a little.
Die a little to survive.

14. Turns You into Stone – Fleurie

Gold in your eyes dancing like fire.
Dreamer trapped by your desire.

15. Ghost – Halsey

My ghost where'd you go?
I can't find you in the body sleeping next to me.

16. Gasoline – Halsey

You can't wake up, this is not a dream.
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being.
With your face all made up, living on a screen.
Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline.

17. Talk me down – Troye Sivan

'Cause you know I can't trust myself with my 3 am shadow. 
I rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone.

18. Shattered – Trading Yesterday

And finding answers is forgetting all of the
Questions we call home
Passing the graves of the unknown

19. Get you the moon - Kina ft. Snow

And if i could get you the moon.
And give it to you.
And if death was coming for you,
I would give my life for you.

20. six feet under – Billie Eilish

Our love is six feet under
I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom?

These poems and letters are dedicated to
all lost souls, waiting to be discovered
and to all the people who are afraid of
discovering the magic within themselves.
Let this book be the call to their
wanderlust souls to discover their
destiny while it lasts.
Let this be what you call home. 

●●●●●●

It all started with a dust of eternity.
A speck in the eye.
The last of dinosaurs,
And the start of life.
It lives in the water fountain.
It is the bridge to galaxies.
Older than time.
Neither created,
Nor destroyed.
All that stems from dust,
Will return to dust.
The Dust of Eternity.

●●●●●●

Here is the ticket for our journey to eternity, 'Heau'.
Hope you will enjoy!
