Poem: {Collapse}

June 4, 2023
By Anonymous

It's a terrifying world we live in:

Clusters of stars are
scattered across this vastness,
adorning the night sky
in the most beautiful of ways.

And it pains me.
It pains me knowing that
all this was made
To be broken


Each star will eventually collapse

and you'd then be looking up to see
A void, now filled with dead stars,
Still emitting light to brighten up the world for us

Still there

Long after we're gone


The author's comments:

Every star is bound to collapse

and very life comes to an end.

Nothing lasts forever.
