When she was the sun I was a planet with a pulse. Id swallow glass and walk through fire while chemicals fills my lungs just to be the shadow at her heels because her presence was the only oxygen in the room. Now the sun has collapsed into a black hole and I am now soaring with no coordinates and a failing engine. Why learn to be human when the only person who made me feel so is gone? My soul is a useless hollowed-out carcass starving for a gravity that doesn’t exist anymore.

When she was my sun
When she was the sun I was a planet with a pulse. Id swallow glass and walk through fire while chemicals fills my lungs just to be the shadow at her heels because her presence was the only oxygen in the room. Now the sun has collapsed into a black hole and I am now soaring with no coordinates and a failing engine. Why learn to be human when the only person who made me feel so is gone? My soul is a useless hollowed-out carcass starving for a gravity that doesn’t exist anymore.
