Black Hole Stare

there's a death in your glance
that i have welcomed
in all abandonment
and in every instance
that i had become
a planet astray

i feel free in your gravity

there's a mischievous chance
fleeting and random
across the firmament
that you may look askance
so i may fathom
the depth of your gaze

your eyes hold singularities

and i am 
already within horizon
so drag me along
my deconstruction

i'll let you murder me
with the stars
with all the lights of an ending night 

i'll let you pull me in
through the hours
past the shards of a collapsing sky

and i am
in retrogade towards nowhere
helplessly ensnared
in your black hole stare

draw me in

there's a death in your glance
and i hope it's mine
