UniverseA Poem by Lanacheesy poemWe all want love To be part of the lucky ones That took part of the blow Of the universe's first show It was on Broadway I remember the way You dressed that day You wore a gold suit And I looked like decay You noticed me right away It was on that show that we both learned how to play We became actors I learned my lines in May You learned yours in January Then one day you said "Let's get out of here" I asked "But where?" You showed me the way to Antartica's coldest place You said this is where we'll dance Like two black holes in a trillion years I thought you meant what you said I was thinking of the black holes as decay But we were still in New York Where we ice skated and our mouths made cloud smoke Mine ended up in an ashtray Your beauty, your dreams You were dynamic, the spotlight shining As you danced and danced You sang and sang I was cold as ice Terrified of our fate and where we will land Zombie stars floating on air You said just hold on, let's talk to each other We are stronger together But I needed time to ponder About the laws of actors In this universe It was on Broadway I remember the way You looked at me that day You said I exhibited a sort of morbid decay You didn't want me to be destroyed by the sun But I looked like decay I was swallowed whole by the light of day The spotlight on me slowly dimmed away I became as cold as ice You held my hand tight Saying "We are in Antartica" I know you lied But I smiled I was plunged by eternal night No tickets sold But the show must go on It was on Broadway I saw the way You danced and danced You said this was your last day Your last day on Broadway You ran out of fuel Your temperature dropped You explode prematurely You said you just wanted to be with me You did not want to collide with anybody "The show must end without me" So at last, you became a black star Crushed soul That couldn't dance with its black hole Until we met again And flared up together in a blaze of glory We all want love And we were lucky Amongst the billions of souls Our lives were a rare feat But our love, much rarer You were there for me I was bound to be swallowed hole by your love You were the sun in my world Expanding in my heart So much so it hurt
