who hurt you? who played with you, circling along in your own orbit then slowly drifted away once it was done collapsing with your body? you still revolve around the sun. the sun who's heat cannot even reach your icy flesh and bones. yet you still continue to move around it, like a child circling their mother asking for something like a dog barking continuously for attention. the world behind you is too small and weak to catch you when you fall and the world in front of you has its own personal fence of asteroids preventing you from leaning on it's shoulders. and you'll forever remain cold. only touched by stones who'll do nothing but carve scars into your crust.
