Dying Star

Your embrace
Was the only thing
Holding me;
Keeping me from falling apart

When my mind
Was just an empty space,
No coherent thought
Nor a passing memory

All that I thought
Was constant and forever,
Disappeared
Like snow covering tracks.

And here you are
Holding me
Keeping me together
Like I was broken glass

But I was worse than that.
I was a star,
Ready to explode,
Ready to burst.

For all, I was an explosion of light
Just up there in the night
But I was deadly;
I was destructive.

I was the dying star
Accepting my fate,
Ready to leave
For I was already left behind.
