Only the Brave\\Only the Lonely.2

it is very brave

to be lonely

in a world

where being truly alone

is only achieved

by leaving its atmosphere

to choose isolation

is to sail past the sun

let it kiss your skin

burn you 

so even though

you sail on

it whispers to you

through the scars

it says

I could have consumed you

and your journey would be over

you will feel my pull

but I will never chase you

as you fade into the distance

and I look like all the other stars

remember that

I would have been so much brighter

if you had steered your boat

into me

still, you continue on

the whispers fade

You discover

both your ship

and your body

are made of wood

Is it your nature

to be incinerated

by a sun?

You daydream

of water

and dirt

You nightdream

of fire

and ashes

Many more suns flicker by
empty

and hungry
for you

none with as much gravity
as the one that kissed your skin

you float on
you realize

you are not meant to be incinerated

you are meant to be ignited

a supernova
spreading cosmic dust
unleashing light
across the universe

it is very brave
to be so lonely

but you know
your radiance
cannot be wasted
feeding a hollow star
