I saw you in my mind
a thousand dreams ago,
standing in the shadow
of my own black hole.

I saw the whirling vortex
try to drag you in,
and found myself incapable
of moving limbs.

I was rooted to the spot,
and had to watch you fight,
a brave but futile try
towards the light.

A battle fought so hard
deserves a win
but it was not to be,
and you gave in.

As you vanished in the
nothing of my thoughts,
i cried a bitter tear

it was my fault.
