Star Death

Out beyond the window Deep within the sky My eyes trace the light The specks of hope So few in the cascade of night How can it be possible To stare yonder And be swallowed Falling in an abyss Flailing for a holding Twisting in my gut An unwanted knowing Shredding my being Siphoning liquid from eyes Destroying all that was Binding me to the specks Only able to observe Undiscovered in the darkness When the time comes to be your star I’ll already have become a black hole
