Event Horizon Heart
You pulled the light out of me with a touch of your skin I watched it fade like it answered to me The distance thinned when you stepped in view Edges gave way, nothing held in place I kept my voice low, like speaking too soon Would shift what I wasn’t ready to face You moved closer but not close enough Like you could feel what you’d become I saw the second your balance slipped But you stayed still instead of run There’s a line I felt but couldn’t see You crossed it long before you knew You let the silence do the work Like it could hold what you won’t say I felt your structure start to turn But you refused to break away Every step felt predetermined Like every path was overdrawn I knew the cost before it hit Still I stayed when I should’ve gone You let the silence do the work Like it could carry what you won’t say I felt your structure start to turn But you never tried to break away Every step felt predetermined Like the path was already drawn I knew the cost before it hit me Still I stayed when I should’ve gone There’s a point where it locks in place I felt it close around my chest I’m falling past where the light can reach You’re exactly where you’re meant to be No release in the pull beneath You’re not escaping me I am the weight you tried to outrun You are the end I couldn’t prevent Caught in the core of an Event Horizon Heart Where everything is spent If I disappear inside this Was I ever whole to start? You were always moving toward this Every step was pulled apart I tried to fight it— You leaned into it— I felt it break— I felt you give— No edge to hold No line to trace No way to stop What we became I’m falling past where the light can reach I’m everything pulling you through No release in the pull beneath Nothing survives but the truth I am the force you can’t outrun I’m everything losing its form Buried alive in an Event Horizon Heart Where collapse is reborn No edge… no end… No return… no rest… We disappear… did we exist…
