We aren’t together anymore
But
When we were
My world revolved around him like he was the vibrant sun
I was just a planet
My orbit attached to
The center of my world
Convinced the sun
Circled around me too.
But that’s not how the system works.
The sun is the center of the universe
Surrounded by more
Than just myself
His glow shifting
From one to the next
Leaving me in darkness
Longer with each phase
Until one day
I collapse
Into an empty black hole
Feeling nothingness
But the emptiness and hurt
Unable to glimpse
The rays of the sun any longer
Without sucking them in
And manipulating them
Into pitch black.

appreciate how long you kept with the Sun metaphors, its not an easy thing to do, we mostly jump from one source of metaphor to another when we write,
I think that element of continuity has sustained the flow and sincerity in your write,
an engaging read
