I sit here in pitch blackness,
Dark malevolent thoughts,
Race through my head,
Spiraling out of control,
At tornadic speeds,
Whirling around in my brain,
The thought of losing you,
Haunts my every dream,
My worst fears,
My terrifying nightmare,
Is seeing the door of your love,
That used to call your heart home,
Slamming shut with the force of a massive wind,
That blows me right out of your life,
Or I see you with someone,
Who is not me,
It breaks my heart,
Already battered and bruised,
Each one leaves its own battle scar,
Every slur, every fight,
Is a wound that will never heal,
I will forever carry,
In remembrance,
I wouldn’t take back,
Anything that happened,
For it gave me strength,
It endowed wisdom into me,
I will forever be a warrior,
But I refuse to go into battle again,
My days of war are no more,
I lay down and surrender the white flag,
I call a truce.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
