Black Hole

The stars used to dance
They used to mimic our movements 

The stars would shoot into orbit to catch up with us
They would fill the night sky making it look like day
But these nights have been cold

The stars have stopped their dances
They have stopped trying to find us
They have realized how vulnerable our hearts can be
They’ve stopped searching for the pain of finding the truth

Where have those days gone
When I could finish your thoughts with a glance
Where have the moments gone
Slipped away like a passing gust of wind

Agonizing nights spent counting
Counting the minutes and seconds since you’ve been gone
Trying to erase anything that brings doubt
Anything that brings pain

Yet nothing seems to erase the loud emptiness that I feel
I have become a large gaping black hole

Slowly sucking in all of life
Along with it the myriad of stars that used to shine for us
That used to dance across the sky

I have finally burst
My light has gone out
Now I am in pieces
Orbiting in space with no direction
