Black Hole

Where my heart used to be

Resides a black hole.

It lies dormant

Awaiting the hour of twilight.

As the sky blooms red, orange and dark blue

It inhales everything in its sight.

The universe is safe

But I am crumbling -

Between the shadow and the want

The essence and the abandonment

I come to exist

As a word, a lie,

A teardrop, a broken thread,

Rendered inconsequential and invisible

In the weight of the universe.

[E.V. Black]

Riveting. Just riveting.

[Poeticpiers]

enjoyed the read unusual for me as I care little for free form
