Fractured Star
Before dawn, it was broken
crumbling
fragment by
falling fragment,
dropping from the sky like a murdered star.
All the words no one would hear
ringing down into their ears.
One day, earth
fractured,
fell from the sky.
It was then they realized
how blind they had been.
That day, a star fell into the sun
and the sun destroyed the earth, outdone.
It began with little lies
soon after everything split apart.
They had chosen not the listen
for fear of obligation,
now there was only regret.
The world looked on in shock
wishing they could unwind the clock.
The sun collapsed on that broken star
and left a permanent scar.
