White Dwarf

There’s a big, black picture
and it’s hanging on your wall
with stars and all the planets
the milky way and all
and in the left hand corner
perhaps a small white dwarf
ready to explode/implode
I really can’t recall

but it’s out there
and I’m down here
and so far from it all

everything’s expanding
in a constant state of change
everything’s demanding
in a constant state of pain
you radiate away
your last remaining heat
your atmosphere has blown away
when you admit defeat

but you’re out there
and I’m down here
and so far from it all

your time
your grace
your story in place
a life-span erased

there’s a big, black picture
and it’s hanging off your wall
with stars and all the planets
the milky way and all
and in the left hand corner
perhaps a small white dwarf
ready to explode/implode
I really can’t recall

but it’s out there
and I’m down here
and so far from it all

and I’m out here
down where
I’m so far from it all
