In a black hole, so much more lost than ever found
Splitting atomically, it beats a hollow resound
It's no surprise that so many equate it to confound
Pulling down all lost souls, it's devastating all-around
All the while self consuming paralyzingly profound
At its core I wonder could nothingness be drowned?

I find it's a terrifying and paralyzingly cold thought
To consider revealing the Fear that leaves you your most defenseless and fraught
With paranoia and shudders and nightmare-plagued sleep.
My Fear is that dark vulnerability that I keep hidden oh so deep.
I don't believe in aliens, they just make me laugh
That little guy with the Hershey candy and a neck like a giraffe?
It's just the same with ghosts, Jersey Devils, Big Foot, vampires
They're not that scary despite them being box office frequent fliers.
And darkness doesn't scare me because I usually just start snoring
Man-eating sharks and venomous snakes to me are rather boring.
A werewolf howl, a zombie scream are supposed to signal the end
But I am here to tell the truth, they don't exist, my friend!
There's just one thing that makes the hair on my arms stand on end
My blood runs cold and my courage gauge starts quickly to descend
I wake up in the morning and quickly run to find my phone
Because my greatest fear, is to be left here all . . .
. . . Alone.

She longed for significance
To stand out from the three billion
Her name
Her name
On the lips of the multitudes
Her beauty celebrated
Hushed whispers when she walked through a room
A big deal
From a small town
Beauty queen
Young guys dream
Adored
A fantasy
Breathy beauty
Bombshell
Blonde perfection
Her need for love
Paramount
Essential
Paralyzingly
Never enough
Insatiable
Lost
Sweet yet fierce
Detrimentally driven
She wanted love
Hearts
A nation
The world
The moon
Strong men
Could not hold her
Mr. president
Couldn't stop her decent
A risen star
In death did fall
Alone
Mourned
Along with jimmy Dean
Elvis
Michael jackson
She stood out
From the Billions
A household name
What a shame
We adored
Idolized
Perhaps
Yes perhaps
We
Us
Are to blame
Her life
Her fame
That name
Left behind
Flickering on screens
Unreachable
Not her
The real woman we'll never know
Breathy beauty
Bombshell
Blonde perfection
Loved
