too much, for one tiny thing

what is it about the stars
that makes me feel like
i'm being sucked up 
into the vastness of space 
and time?

im so full
so empty 
so overjoyed 
so overwhelmed 
so amazed 
and yet i've seen it before.....
but have i?

tiny dots 
and yet bigger than our sun
they make me feel so small
and i really am
compared to the ever-expanding world they live in 

and when they die
they leave their mark on the universe 
in a black ink-dot 
that will suck you up and turn you to spaghetti if you enter
but always there
it's always there and it's there for us
it won't let go
i won't let go

    i just miss you

    i do want you in my life!

    can't 
    hold all this up on my own.
