Let the more loving one be me ~ WH Auden

[Paroxysm]

WH Auden- Let the more loving one be me

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total darkness sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

My poetry is filled with tales of sorrow, woe and anthropomorphized razor blades.

Def morbid, and dripping with the eternal facing of death as the final end to the human condition. Still quite interesting if you like that sort of thing.
