Hollow Song

the hollow song rollsthrough stardusted ebonycalling my soulenfolding my hearteasing my mindI screambut the vacuum of nightleaves me voiceless voicelessand rawunable to protect myselfany longer

from the supernova threatening

to escape

Escape was all I thought

about for so long

so damn long

such a long damn wasted time

can’t bring it back can’t buy it back can’t coax it back can’t live it back want it back but as my voiceless scream opens its arms out wide embracing the Universe

the hollow song

repeats

echoing from the mountainous night

slipping into my heart

causing it to open

one weary eye, and look

at the world again as I begin

to question myselfquestion my existencequestion the existence of life after the supernovawhere will I beif I allow such a catastrophewill I cease to exist?or will I begin?
