Eternal Gravity

Sky on fire at the edge of the world
Flames up in reverse
As I stand looking out at
Where the stars should be.
Meteor to the heart.
Shooting star through the chest.
I break apart into pieces,
Blood in my veins shattered glass.
A cosmic dagger I constantly await -
News that you are gone.
Imperfect, red dwarf, I glow,
And I cannot like you.
But my celestial soul
Can only love you, knife in hand.
Yours or mine, I cannot say.
Only the spheres and the spiders know.
The man who fell to earth.
