You were the universe. A vast region unknown to me. A bright place of loneliness. A hope filled area of oblivion who made me feel like I was the only star in its galaxy. I saw all the stars that surrounded you. Dead light kisses, hot ball of gazes, plasma filled temptation. I closed my eyes and wished I was a planet. You know, The Fermi Paradox says that a civilization cannot overcome its current state because of The Great Filter. So when you gave me those heartaches and you kissed me with broken promises, baby, I knew from then that you were The Great Filter and I was the civilization who cannot move on. In your galaxy-like heart, you were the sun. She was Mercury and I was Neptune. She was hot. I was colder than snow. She was small and everything you've ever wanted. I was big and distant. Disconnected and alone. So I understood when you gave her the heat I needed in my coldest days. The universe is filled with dynamically evolving things that are unfathomable to me. A roaming blackhole that ***** feelings deep into the void Hungry for validation, for affection, for attention. You consumed me. Placed into nothingness, filled with grieve and loss, I deteriorated. Lights flickering, slowly burning out, I smiled. I looked at the planets and stars inside the galaxy you've created. "My brightness was the factor of how much effort I put in but I will never be enough to light your expanding universe."
