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.
