Black Hole Heart
Surrounded by endless space
Stars and moons
Make up my home
But its all devoured in one second by the black hole heart.
I should run
Instinctively I know
But I’m curious
I must get a better look
I moved closer
My heart pounds with excitement
Adrenaline rushes through my body
Closer,
Closer
I sense danger
I know I should step back
But you are magnificent
I feel like I’ve seen it before
Closer,
Closer
Too close
I slip over the edge
I’ve reached a point of no return
I’ve fallen into your black hole heart.
You lured me forward
And sucked me in
I can’t breath
I clamp my eyes shut
But they burst open
Blood shot
And foggy eyed
They burn at the sight of you.
You laugh as you see me struggle
I’m glad I can amuse you
As the weight crushes every bone in my body
Compressing me to nothing.
No light will surpass
No reflection
I suffocate in this vacuum of dark nothingness
But I don’t want air
The sooner this ends the better
There is only one way out and that is Death
There is no escaping the black hole heart.
My heart beats loud in my ears
Only a for a few more times
I go to a happier place
I turn to my thoughts
My memories
My dreams
Thinking about them makes me smile
Even at a time like this
The more I think about it the more real it becomes
But the black hole punctures through my thoughts
Ripping through the scenery of my imagination
Destroying everything I love.
I truly have nothing now
I’m as empty as you are
Amazing how something that brings in everything near
Is so hollow
An empty heart.
You must have felt some pity in that empty heart of yours
Then again, I am quite pitiful
You spit me out into a now vacant space
But sadly,
I’ll get swallowed again
For I will fall for your black hole heart every time.
