Black Hole 11-4-21

The planets revolve around me The heavens have fallen upon me Have they blessed you with their presence? Have you been saved?

Your planets were different than mine You hated my planets, so i gave them away Now that you're on another orbital stage I realized that it was a mistake

What was i supposed to do? How was i supposed to love you? I was just a child that wanted affection How could i have known that you did not have good intentions?

You linger like a far away star in my mind Not bright enough to be fully seen But enough to sting

When will you finally burn out? When will you fade away? I'm trying to create my own solar system And your gravity keeps pulling me astray

My heavens have blessed me with their presence While you have cursed me with yours But i guess i have learned my lesson To not mistake a star for a black hole
