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?
