Today I learned
The destiny of stars.
You know I’m not much good with science,
But basically, they burn
And burn
And sacrifice themselves to fuel the fire.
Stars burn
Until they have destroyed their shape,
Until every last atom
Has been cast into the sky.
They give up everything to glow.
Their silver beauty eats them up inside
And leaves their shells behind
To fall apart.
You -
You always wished to be a star, but
You didn’t know the cost.
Right now, you’re burning bright.
I wonder how much time you have
Before you fall apart.
