Bright Black Star

Astrophysics

No physics

Nobody

Nothing

Somewhere among the inky sky

Two stars collided

Shining bright, together

Never one

Just two separate

Complementing, completing

Becoming slowly the things they could not be as one

Sparks flew and the sky was alight

Both stuck there in glorious still-flight

Showing each other the light

The way out the dark

Not alone

Together

Not together

Yet not alone

Peace they brought

Before a piece broke away

Revealing a fragmented truth

A truth that could have prevented

Things and situations

A truth making one feel filthy

Making the other feel guilty

And then it exploded

The night sky full of light

A sight so hauntingly beautiful

It broke my heart

Illuminating the Earth

The souls escaped

Spiralling downwards towards a shallow grave

Preparing to be swallowed by the Earth

Yet in the sky a supernova was occurring

Blurring the lines between virtual

And reality

Virtual reality dreams

Broken seams

Broken friendship

A lot of lost love

Yet one not in the wrong

The blinding light disappeared to reveal

One black star

Burnt, ashen, broken, alone

And one black hole

Ready to destroy anything

Still beautiful

Still strong         

Yet separated for eternity

But for the time that the light flourished

An empty dull space was filled

A heart was made to not feel alone

A mind finally felt understood

And the cold turned warm

And now I get to see what the other people see

Not the person you once revealed to me

Oxymoronic differences

Condescending tones

Coincidental friendship once again gone

And once again you're over there

and I’m here alone.
