Arid emptiness
you wore me out with your rigid framework of mind inviting boredom as your plus-one how did I mistake coal for gold paint and fragments peeling off like petals on a windy torrential day I have seen better days just not with you how could a star that once rivaled the glamorous sun fade to black without even a whisper of amber you ran out of helium before greatness could be now there's only meaningless debris the weather was never mine to determine petulance for a day stretched into winter where was the blanket I engraved our names oh there it is a single thread remains a coarse patch on fine silk an eye sore I'm ashamed pretentious as a charlatan oh how talented you are I heard the circus is short staffed why don't you apply they could use your lifeless presence a leash on merriment after all that's the sole purpose of blackholes your next journey already dreads you notorious for drawing in chaos with a pristine hunger of a vacuum cleaner you derail before trackmaster can say get set that suits you too well my once beloved goodbye I orbit your arid emptiness no more
