Physical Love

Without warning, he asks me And our energy becomes potential. Stretched by my inertia and his kinetic force, The whole cannot remain constant. The velocity is staggering before I say a word. We are accelerating through supersonic silence, His question hanging, creating shock waves That radiate, exploding the sky. He is drowning in this supernova suicide, And I, as his companion in this Binary system, cannot outshine him Nor can I resist his mass as we collapse Underneath the weight of this gravity. "Is this love?" he asks again, as we spiral, Twisted together and fragmented. "Is this love?" And my answer comes beyond the event horizon.
