Stars die in fiery glory
He says I destroy him
The core shrinks and relights while the outer layers expand
I don’t see how
The core relights over and over until iron is made
He says I destroy him
I don’t see how
The iron core the collapses while the outer layers expand
The core relights over and over until iron is made
I have a solid grip on his heart
The iron core then collapses and the outer layers explode
He’s blinding me with his passion
I have a solid grip on his heart
If the core survives it becomes one of two things,
He’s blinding me with his passion
A star that emits radio heart beats or a black hole
If the core survives it becomes one of two things,
We are two hearts that beat as one, or so he says
A star that emits radio heartbeats or a black hole
He used me to fill a gap in his heart while my sadness became a void
We are two hearts that beat as one, or so he says
The faster pulsars spin, the faster the heart beats get
He used me to fill a gap in his heart while my sadness became a void
The threshold of gravity and light, also the center of our milky way
The faster pulsars spin, the faster the heartbeats get
I was his whole universe
The threshold of gravity and light, also the center of our milky way
And to me he was a dying star
