light from a dead star
By chrome arctic
behind zero, the sum of minus thoughts
exits burning and this occupied room falls apart
sightless and crazed, navigation through numb hands
north shifts it’s pole
air thins until it’s too light to breathe
i’ll push away - I’ll lie to leave
the last glow of light from a dead star
i don’t need you - I don’t want love
these abstract demands and missed warnings
liquid in cold, free movement denied here
nameless reasons and the velocity rushes in
voiceless with thought, shapes that replace every word
your dead end eyes
like lights in a mirror back at me
i’m turning off - I’m shutting down
the past is the light from a dead star
i don’t believe - I can’t recall
the scratched surfaces under my nails

Dearlings dearlings dearlings. He don't want a connection. He just wants a lack of oxygen and a void to go crawl into sometimes when the stupidity of existence gets too shitty that hovering in mid-air and time is desirable. I prefer sleep. I like you dude. P.s. when I guess what people meant I'm usually always wrong.

I'll agree with Zen's point, though I'll add that this was well written, a curious blending of words to make your point. Well read. Welcome to DP. ~b
