On a day like today..






















On a day like today 
I could close my eyes 
and dream of  a tiny star
dying
slowly 

in a lonely nook
of a distant galaxy 


While the walls
that kept your composure
crumble
The light 

that burnt
within thy heart
escape
to the nothingness

On a day like today
I open my eyes
and know
that even though I see you
You’ll be already
gone

  1. Oddly enough, dude, I also have had the same thoughts while star-gazing, like... this star I seen now would have been gone a thousand years ago.

    My dad helped me in this, talking about galaxies.

    As usual, I don't know what was on your mind when you wrote this. :D

  2. Same experience dude. My father and me...we too used to star gaze and talk for hours.... Read an interesting theory , where say how the light keeps on reflecting and we get to see over and over again......that's another thing to think about...as for what was on my mind when I wrote this...it is actually not important. What is important is what it makes you think :) ....but if you must know , I was thinking about my father....
