He said
Foolishly
That he wanted to explore the uncharted unknowns of space
He wanted to fill its vacancy and float away with a sense of purpose, discovering the stars and wonders it held along the way

If only he realized that behind the facade of constellations lies an endless, empty void of darkness
Maybe he could have saved himself all the trouble
Maybe he wouldn't have had such a hard time breathing

I really enjoyed this concept. It's a poem about the things that we fall in love with, the effort we exert for it and the aftermath of what happeneds next, leaving us to discover how toxic they really are and how foolish we really were
