explode me.

i am a nebula.
the remnants of a star
that didn't quite make it to the finish line.
you
exploded me
a perfectly healthy, glowing star.
i didn't just burn out.
i didn't just collapse in on myself
and become a black hole.

i know it was you.

one day
i just looked around
and the gravitational pull
that kept everything in order
vanished
and my guts
were all floating out of me
into the great
scary
unknown.

don't get me wrong-
blowing up hurts.
but there's nothing more freeing
than breaking the laws of physics
and letting the particles
of myself
float as they may.
