Refuse To Die

A cataclysmic explosion
Right before my eyes 
Supernova refusing to die
Outshining an entire galaxy 
Of a hundred billion ordinary stars

You consume every thought left behind
Right before going void

And now I’m left never knowing 
What you were before 
Seeing you for the first time
Or after you said goodbye

All I have left of your beautiful soul
Is the image you burned behind my eyes
