Saddest poem ever

I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

“When?’ said the moon to the stars in the sky
Soon’ said the wind that followed them all

Who?’ said the cloud that started to cry
Me’ said the rider as dry as a bone

How?’ said the sun that melted the ground
and ‘Why?’ said the river that refused to run

and ‘Where?’ said the thunder without a sound
Here’ said the rider and took up his gun

No’ said the stars to the moon in the sky
No’ said the trees that started to moan

No’ said the dust that blunted its eyes
Yes’ said the rider as white as a bone

No’ said the moon that rose from his sleep
No’ said the cry of the dying sun

No’ said the planet as it started to weep
Yes’ said the rider and laid down his gun”
— Nick Cave

“ Be hole, be dust, be dream, be wind
Be night, be dark, be wish, be mind,
Now slip, now slide, now move unseen,
Above, beneath, betwixt, between. ”
— The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman

“I dreamed I spoke in another’s language,
I dreamed I lived in another’s skin,
I dreamed I was my own beloved,
I dreamed I was a tiger’s kin.

I dreamed that Eden lived inside me,
And when I breathed a garden came,
I dreamed I knew all of Creation,
I dreamed I knew the Creator’s name.

I dreamed—and this dream was the finest—
That all I dreamed was real and true,
And we would live in joy forever,
You in me, and me in you.”

“After a battle lasting many ages,
The Devil won,
And said to God
(who had been his Maker):
Lord,
We are about to witness the unmaking of Creation
By my hand.
I would not wish you
to think me cruel,
So I beg you, take three things
From this world before I destroy it.
Three things, and then the rest will be
wiped away.’

God thought for a little time.
And at last He said:
No, there is nothing.’
The Devil was surprised.
Not even you, Lord?’ he said.
And God said:
No. Not even me.”

— Clive Barker
