Monologue of a Star
Alone. Terribly, unfathomably alone.
Silently, within the void I churn.
Brilliantly, in hopes to be made known
I'll condemn all that I am to burn.
Reaching. Into the void my warmth is reaching.
My aura pulsing, pleading to be seen
Over the walls of distance breaching
Despite the time and space that lies between.
Empty. A bitter, heavy, crushing empty.
Collapsing, I descend into a hole
Until not even light itself may leave me,
And time and space are under my control.
