And the stars died one by one

In the darkness of its belly

And no one cared

No dead star is as dark

As the hole in my heart

Where I buried your memory

Shift into sharp focus

Perceive a shimmering darkness

Rippling blacker than any human mind

Negative space

It was the meaning I had sought for an eternity

It was the spaces in between

It was not there

Until it was gone

The possibilities I killed

Created a hole

Filled with darkness more beautiful

Than anything real could be
