how is it
that i feel empty
when there are
parts of the universe
stirring inside me
somehow
the only thing
that i am feeling
is empty
but i am made of
stars and there is
stardust in my veins
i wish i could feel
the light of
a billion suns
i wish i could be
above the atmosphere
but i am here on earth
gravity holding me down
like an aggravating anchor
and i feel as though
a black hole
has stolen
all of my
thoughts
feelings
light
particles from the universe
lie inside my soul
but i do not feel like a star
i feel like
absolutely nothing
at all
like the emptiness of space
that everyone fears
cryptic dark matter
an empty
abyss
startling nothingness
a victim
of a black
hole
