My Falling Star
I watched as she slowly
Fell into herself
I almost wanted
To make a wish
Say a prayer
Because she was a
Supernova
An implosion
That causes an
Explosion
A star's last hurrah
I watched as she slowly
Fell into herself
Her dark hair
Lightened into flame
And her tan skin
Did the same
Red and gold and orange
Erupted from
Everything she did
She was a crackling fire
And I wanted to sit in
Her warmth
Before her embers fully
Died out
I watched as she slowly
Fell into herself
A black hole
Taking over everything
Suckin git all in
Contorting, Deforming, Warping
and I don't mind twisting
Out of shape to experience
This once in a lifetime
adventure
Because her deterioration
Is a journey
I watched as she slowly
Fell into herself
Her voice's tilting meoldy
Turning from Key C,
Pure and white,
Into minor notes clashing
As black took over
And the notes became rushed
Pounding, Pounding,
Sustaining only over each other
No single notes,
Pedal always pushed,
And I couldn't stop myself
From listening to the
Dissonance
I watched as she slowly
Fell into herself
Like a broken mirror
Shattered to form a mosaic
And she could see
Her own reflection shattering,
Splintering, Creating a mess
On the floor
The sceond the mirror split
A dark veil wrapped around her
Like her bad luck became tangible
And she could only see
Herself from behind the
Black shadows engulfing her
I watched as she slowly
Fell into herself
And I don't know why I
Didn't stop it
Maybe because I was as helpless
To stop flass from tumbling
Or a composer from writing
As I was to her
Maybe because dark and light came
Together in such a wonderfully,
horrifically distorted way like fire
Fading and black holes enveloping
If I'm honest, it's because
She was so capitvating,
A falling star on fire
Shattering the darkness of the night sky
Screeching notes fading only as
She falls away
Folding into herself
Falling into herself
A star's death
An explosion of light and color
Smearing the black around with
Vibrant pains of pink and gold and violet
Until nothing else matters except for
This Phenomenon
Happening right in front of me
My heart pounding, falling freely
Breaking soundlessly, sweetly
Until it too ended in embers
and faded colors turned black
But the night sky will never be
The same because her star is gone
But a black hole remains, and she'll
Always suck me in
She can't help it
Any mroe than I
Because my reflection
Is in her eye
Is all she can see
Every time she stares
At her broken mirror
So as I watched as she slowly
Fell into herself
I watched my own destruction
Isn't it incredible how
Beautiful something can seem
and how terrible it can feel?
This is the paradox within me
