without a Sun


I lost my Sun.

The center of my Soul-ar system.
You call it birth, I call it supernova. Bright lights, pain, explosive emotions.
And when it was all said and done, only blackness at my core.

Everything a mother's life revolves around, now gone.
No centrifugal force to keep my shit together,
inevitably everything fell apart, before crushing back in on the dense darkness.

Some say the Sun didn't disappear, but was transported through a wormhole to a different corner of the Universe, part of a new solar system. Some days I can barely feel its warmth radiating from so far away, but I cannot see its Light. It must be so far away that it will take years until I see it again.

So, my Son, how many light-years are you away from me?
