Gases thread together through the cold,
Binding galaxies with ties of dark matter
Strands that bind everything across the cosmos.
Each galaxy pulls on these tethers like muscles
Flexing and stretching as the universe expands.
Much like this web, I too have grown. From
A mere infant to a grown adult, yet I won’t
Die like humans, nor will I age beyond adulthood.
I am bound to this state. An immortality that
Has no bounds. Civilizations rise and fall within
A single blink of my eyes. Yet I still keep watch
Over every single one of them, hoping
One day they’ll find me as I watch over them.
Longing to find a way to hold them in my
Loving embrace, but I am losing the
Will to try. Much like a star on its
Last legs, my colors and my heart
Are losing their shine, leaving nothing
But shadows and hopes of broken glass.
