Big bang

Kaboom!
My world exploded.
Fragments flying everywhere.
Brains, arms, legs. Heart.
Bits and pieces of me drifting
in an empty void every bit as
black and dark as deepest space.
Time warped. Minutes became days.
Days became years. Years, eons.
I drifted like a cluster of meteorites,
moving through the void on an
endless trip to nowhere.
Cold black bits of me frozen to absolute zero.
Galaxies of people swirled around me.
Past me.
Never close enough to catch me.
Until you.
Your heart had been emptied.
A black hole.
It reached out its tendrils of gravity
into the ether, looking for love.
Pulling for love.
It’s gravity grabbed me and pulled me in.
Slowly at first, then faster and faster
I came into your orbit.
I was caught by the tug of your heart.
As the orbit of my resistance decays
I come closer and closer to you..
Burned up by the friction of your love,
doomed to finally crash into your arms.
