I’ve seen the death of a star Inexplicably sudden, and horrifyingly dark in the aftermath Right before my eyes, though I denied it at first His death left my skin cold and unfamiliar But before, his light was so consistent I never imagined life without it one day my mind wandered A false narrative that the light never really shined on me And if it had, it had grown weary of all its efforts to warm my ever hungry core But I did not believe my rejection could be so suffocating Yes, I have seen the death of a star I was the one who snuffed it out
