[ death of a star ]

When I'm with you I start to smolder
When you smile you light my fire
Wherever you touch me, you leave a trail of flame
Whenever you hug me you set me ablaze
Whenever you kiss me I burn like the fires of a thousand sun's
When I knew that you loved me -
I was reborn in a blast of fire and power to dwarf creation

But you have removed yourself from my life
And the internal fire as been left to slowly wither and die
My heart has grown cold; collapsed in on itself
Like unto the death of a star
It has grown so small and ever so heavy
(I often wonder if I can carry it much longer)
And there is but the hint of glowing hot embers left
And I fear that they may finally go out
And I wonder about my future fate
For like a star, there is but a small chance
A small chance for the better of two fates
To be reborn in a blaze of cosmic fire and glory
To rekindle and start anew

A better choice than this lingering on,
Slowly slipping and collapsing farther in
Becoming a greedy black hole of nothingness
Immense pain and stress distorting my very being
Unimaginable darkness
Intense loneliness
Tearing at my soul
Becoming the invisible void
Sucking everything into itself
And feeling nothing...

Evermore.
