Burnt stars (11/4/2009)

They once shone with strength and vigour
radiating light and hope to little worlds out there
oh they shine so brightly
you never think they wouldn't last.

Where rings of fire danced around them
they began to encircle and engulf them
they were momentarily blinded
screaming with all their might against the darkness

Their cores were torn
the life force diminishing by the seconds
the once steady balls of fire started to flicker
and die in their own flames

Little worlds were worlds away from them
so they could not hear the cries of anguish
echoing, echoing...

Oh they shine so brightly
you never think they wouldn't last.

White turns blue
turns to red
to orange
into the black
and wisps of smoke swirl around them.

Their innards all fragmented
floating in a sea of nothingness
they break down from light to dark
to nothing

Oh they shine so brightly
you just never think they wouldn't last.
