You used to compare me to
the universe
I remember the poems you sent
late at night when no one
else could see
and told me I was all you wrote
about for a month straight
our bond was unbreakable,
like the orderly line of planets
in our solar system
revolving around one brilliant star.
but a disturbance in the order could
leave with disastrous affects
maybe you were a star
and maybe I was just a comet
plunging through the dark matter
of space
wreaking havoc with everything
it came in contact with
or maybe I was a black hole
envious of the beautiful star
but instead of living peacefully
I became too selfish
only wanting her warmth and happiness
and I swallowed her very existence
and I can apologize as much as I want
but that'll never change what I did
that'll never change the atrocity I've
always been
that'll never change the fact that I'm
a black hole
designed only for a selfish intake
and for destroying what I love the most
