Long Dead Star

Remnants of you In shades of red and white But your veins alone can’t keep you alive Fading away Like a forgotten soul A ghost of what was before you exploded Your desire was to be great You were given the chance to be titanic At the cost of destroying your life It was the curse of your wish being granted I always loved your light No matter how much it blinded me Now your star is deconstructed Return to dust And hold on to what little energy Radiates your memory Your desire was to be great You were given the chance to be titanic At the cost of destroying your life It was the curse of your wish being granted Long-dead star A victim to pride And the desire to shine brighter than the rest Desperately Try to hold on to what’s left But light fades like a final breath Fades like a final breath Fades like a final breath
