.12 Blackhole Poem by Daniel Cobb

BLACK-HOLE:
'FALLEN STAR'
Once you were the brightest star of all,
But then you began to fall.
Once you were the brightest star,
But now look where you are.
You were perfect in every way,
Lifted up more than the others;
Until that fateful day
When you turned against your brothers.

Seduced by pride's spell,
You exalted yourself higher as well,0
But no one knows why you first fell
Into the darkest pit of hell.
Who's dream are you now delaying;
You're the one you've been betraying.
They say you are a star that fell
From heaven into hell.

Seeking your Master's throne,
You led them in the sky.
Their light went out one night,
But nobody wondered why.
In their pride, they will fall,
And take you with them all.
They tried to take the throne
And claim it for their own.

This is how the angels fell
Under the power of pride's spell.
Instead of givers, they are takers;
They turned against their own Maker.
Some of the stars fell out of place;
They should have stayed in their own space.
Unaware they couldn't do it alone,
They weren't meant to shine on their own.


'BIRTH OF A BLACK-HOLE'
I keep staring off into space;
This world's such a big place.
It feels like I'm going nowhere;
I'm never going to get there.
There is nothing I can do;
I have nothing to hold onto.
I'm caught in this world's gravity;
I think it has a hold on me.

It looks like I've lost control;
I'm still stuck in this big black-hole.
Once there was light, life, and love in my soul;
Now there is just a big black hole.
I've witnessed the birth of a black-hole;
The stars swirled around and were swallowed whole.
Sometimes when stars shatter, they become black-holes;
Until your heart's broken, it will never be made whole.

Everything is spinning around;
Yet when I scream, there is no sound.
I should've stopped and turned around;
Now I'm falling to the ground.
Deliver me from darkness;
There’s no end to this emptiness!
My soul is still stuck in this space;
Is there a way out of this place?


'THE EDGE OF ETERNITY'
The stars in space
Have lost their place.
They lost their light
To the dark night.
Time will never tell
How the angels fell.
They're on their way to hell;
Don't come too close - you'll fall as well.

Listen to creation cry;
Stars are falling from the sky;
They've lost their light - no one knows why,
But one by one, they die.
Look up at the galaxy in its glory;
The stars themselves tell a story.
From the beginning of our birth,
We enter this world called earth.


'I LOST MY LIGHT'
I stand alone in the dark,
Waiting for the stars to show.
There are those who never know
The light of their gentle glow.
I try to think how would it be
To have the light so I could see.
Shadows have surrounded me;
Only truth can set me free.

I want to be just like the light,
A star shining and burning bright,
But I don't have the will to fight;
Now nothing will ever be right.
The light is hard to find, and rare,
For emptiness is everywhere.
Maybe the truth was never there,
And if it was, why should I care?


'DEEPER INTO THE DARKNESS'
In my heart, there's a lie
No light can reach.
My mind is like a wall
No truth can breach.

I let my life get out of control;
I let myself slip into this black-hole.
The darkness will never let go of me,
Because I'm trapped here for eternity.

In my life, I've gone astray;
I should've gone the other way.
How did I get here? I can't say,
When I first left the light of day.

I lost sight of the truth
In the innocence of my youth.
My world is slowly caving in;
The end is about to begin.


'ECLIPSED ETERNITY'
It's a swirling vortex some call a soul; 0
There's nothing but a big black-hole.
I'm falling deeper into the darkness;
I can't escape from this emptiness.

I can't keep myself together;
How long until I'm gone forever?
There's a black-hole inside of me,
But I’m trying to break free.

I had a dream, but now it's gone;
It came and went just like the dawn.
I sense light, but I can't see it;
I know it's out there, but I can't find it.

Then in the dark, there was a light;
I saw a star shine in the night.
It gave me hope - it burned so bright;
I could never forget the sight.


'LET THE STARS FALL'
I can't touch you - you're so far away;
I'm almost there now - please say you'll stay.
I made a wish and it came true;
Now I'm standing here with you.

You are the star that leads me on,
The light that shows me where I belong.
You shine with light, just like a star,
But you don't even know who you are.

Let every star in the sky fall;
To me they don't matter at all.
I don't know when the stars will fall;
Forever's not that long at all.

Like the stars, we will glow,
With the warm light of love we know.
When I have you, I have sunshine;
Who needs the stars when you are mine?


'THE LIGHT HAS LEFT'
When light falls in,
It never comes back out again.
What's that bright light up ahead?
There's a star shining there instead!

Off in the distance, there's a dim glow;
Focus your eyes on the sight.
Then into the darkness you fall down below,
Never again to see the light.

No light is pure enough to escape it;
No force of nature can stand against it.
The stars have all fled from the sky;
The light has left this world to die.

The stars have been swallowed whole;
They're trapped in a black-hole,
In this never-ending nothingness,
In this endless emptiness.


'SHATTERED STAR'
Majesty materializes
As the universe unfolds;
Who knows what forces are at work
Or what the future holds?

The universe is unfolding,
Exploding exponentially.
It's expanding and evolving
To echo through eternity.

A star once showed us all the way;
Someday its light will fade away.
Twisting truth, time takes its tolls
Shattered stars become black-holes.

Giving in to gravity;
Destruction is their destiny.
They collapse under their own weight
Falling from within endlessly.


'DEVOURED BY THE DARKNESS'
In the darkness I will stay,
Hiding in the shadows.
I just want the world to go away;
I hope nobody knows.

I'm so tired of being alone,
But I can't do this on my own.
Don't they know I'm not there?
Can't they see through the mask I wear?

I feel like an empty, broken shell;
Because being alone is like being in hell.
You don't know how empty life can be
Until you are alone, like me.

I walk down this dark path alone;
The only one I've ever known.
It seems my heart has turned to stone;
I'll face my destiny alone.


'FALLING STAR'
The last star starts to fall;
Shadows have swallowed up them all
No one can hear me scream or shout;
Please, won't somebody let me out?

It will not let go of the light
Until there are no stars left in sight.
Darkness devours the sun;
So its rays reach no one.

Swirling into the shadows,
Into the depths of hell below,
Everyone tries to fight their fate,
Caught in its grip, but it's too late.

What can bring this falling star back out
Of this black-hole of darkness and doubt?
It will fall forever, never reaching the end;
In the darkness, there's no dream to defend.


'SWALLOWED UP BY SHADOWS'
I don't see how
This could happen again.
The darkness is coming,
It's dragging me in.

I can see a little light;
I'm still lost in the dark.
The darkness devours me;
It's tearing me apart.

I can feel its powerful pull.
I just hope it gets full
Before it sucks my soul away;
I hope the sun will stay.

I wish my heart would open,
Letting the light inside,
But I fear it never will;
I'm trying to hide.


'SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL'
My world is spinning;
Somehow, I've lost control.
Inside I'm slowly dying;
It suffocates my soul.

I'm a prisoner of my pride;
I bottle everything inside;
All of the fear and doubt
That needs to be let out.

My heart has exploded;
My brain has overloaded.
Trapped in this prison
Of indecision.

I should feel something,
But I feel nothing,
Empty as space itself,
As I destroy myself.


'SLOWLY SINKING'
It won't let go of me;
I'm slowly sinking in.
But why don't you grab hold of me,
As I start to give in?

They all go on their way,
Leaving me alone anyway.
It's so dark I can't see;
Can anyone help me?

The darkness is lonely
When no one else is there;
Sitting in the shadows,
Pretending I don't care.

I have to close my eyes;
I'm scared of what I'll see.
That's who I want to be;
So don't try to stop me.


'FALLING FOREVER'
Voices whisper,
They call out for my soul,
Running out of choices,
Falling into this black-hole.

Now I'm falling forever,
Deeper into the darkness;
The nightmare ends never,
In this endless emptiness.

I’ll never see the light again;
All is lost in this world of sin.
Dreams denied, like pieces of coal,
It suffocates my soul.

Drowning in a sea of sorrow,
Hoping for a better tomorrow;
Now the flames are rising higher,
Burning with deeper desire.


'I'M TRAPPED INSIDE MYSELF'
All of my sin
Is pulling me in.
Those who fall in
Never get out again.

I have to hide
Everything inside.
This fear I feel
Is all too real.

The circle consumes me,
Sucking up my soul.
The darkness devours me;
I just want to be whole.

Will I ever escape
This darkness and doubt?
I'm trapped inside myself;
I'll never get out!


'NO ESCAPE'
Try to get out,
You can't make it.
You aren’t able
To escape from it.

Look all around you;
Their dreams are dead.
Maybe you’re meant to
Go through it instead.

If you want to be free,
Then run away instead.
You can't save me;
I'm already dead.

Here I am helpless,
Lost in this darkness;
I feel so worthless;
Life seems so hopeless.


'I LOST MY SOUL'
I lose my grip,
And start to slip.
I pray in tears,
But no one hears.

I can't break free;
I don't know why.
I'm trapped in me;
My life's a lie.

Here I am now,
Trapped inside of my own prison;
Destroying dreams
With each wrong decision.

There’s simply no faking,
The reason why my heart’s breaking.
My world may be falling apart;
But there’s a dream deep in my heart.
