Black Hole

Once bright star
You collapsed on yourself
Now nothing escapes
Your invisible pull

Once bright star
Some fault at your core
Caused you to implode
Now inward, you fall

Once bright star
Dead deep inside
Destroying outside
Fatal to all

Once bright star
Your event horizon
Means no more return
For those who you fool

Withdrawal

I still awake
Upon the edge
Every night in bed

Turn around
No one there
Only in my head

Mattress space
I left for you
Pushed me to the edge

The ghost of you
Still lying there
Reciting what I said

Darkness fell
So long ago
Careless where it treads

The only light
A Streetlamp glow
Comforts me instead

When morning comes
I will awake
Still hanging from the ledge
