Star In a Black Hole
Your presence echos
In the shadows of doubt
Living has lost its light-
Unable to catch my breath
I retreat
I surrender
It doesn’t make sense
And life keeps going-
Faster it seems
And as the tsunami hits-
You relive it again
I now hate hospitals
I did before
But now it’s confirmed
It doesn’t matter if it was fate
Or timing-
I still hate them
And the memory they bring
It’s scraped into my brain
With a dull knife
I never knew you could feel pain from your head to your toes
Never really able to catch your breath
But you move on-
You have to
And there’s moments of joy with habitual smiles
Under a nervous wreck-
A volcano
Ready to erupt at any moment
Any thought
Any spiral.
If only one more day
If only the promise of one more conversation
Some sort of closure
Anything to fill this empty void
A loss star trapped in a black hole
