» collapsed stars

once upon a time, you texted me 
how do you read 

and i replied
open a book and read

yeah but how
why 

i don't actually read a lot
anymore 
i used to 
i love to 
i loved these worlds

harry potter, with hogwarts
hunger games, with panem
divergent, with chicago 
the maze runner, with a maze

the sun rises and sets for 
them all
and with a flip of a page,
the sun rises

but now i create my own
i write my own
and around each i build a star 
looked to the star
for guidance 

but every star
burns out
and my reading is
slowly

now i'm here
begging for my online life
not to burst into flames
and explode throughout a galaxy

even the brightest stars
burn out 

a star so bright
won't last so long 

but you don't want to hear
that, do you?
i can't reignite a collapsed star
