you were a supernova caving in, burning so bright you burned yourself. a mighty flame that lit up the night sky, falling and crashing from its own scalding flames; self-destruction rips a hole in itself, leaving a wreck that ****** in anyone that got too close.

burning
the coffee's too bitter and i'm losing sight of a rose-colored dream that tethers me to actuality. i wish i could sleep but the acridness permeates, feeding my mind with a thought that runs, and falls, and caves in— like a dying star, devouring any hope of a good morning's delight. the unwelcome has now stirred awake, so i hide between these words and wait for salvation to take me under its wing. alas, the clock keeps on ticking. maybe peace never visits at night.

no rest for the wicked
a tilting planet sun sets and sways but i am rooted to the ground.
