You are the time that won't stop for me,
And I'm the void, abandoned by light.
Like an atom missing from my debris,
My life collapsed into a sugar cube night.
I'm a mad scientist who could never master time,
Nor master the silent flow of the universe.
If I were the father of time, my sweetest crime,
I would carve our story into your favourite love verse.
Demise will bring you near, and eternity is enough to hold you still,
We will embrace and expand like the breath of space itself.
I'll fly you to the silver city like an ancient bygone,
There you'll be the atom I lost within myself.
Your skin shines brighter than the farthest star,
And your soul will make a neutron star shy.
Decades from now my soul will wait where the lost things are,
Till we collide again, my tomb awaits, I can't deny.

If all empty space within the atoms of all 8 billion humans were removed, the remaining matter would fit inside a single sugar cube.
