Two celestial bodies
gravitationally locked.
Built from the same materials—
Stellar cloud,
Perturbation,
Chain reaction,
Potential energy.
They used to shine
together.
Now, he moves through space-time,
a shadow of his former self,
destroyed by foreign elements
in his core.
He could not resist
the cycle of self-destruction.
She dutifully follows him—
Jewel in the void.
Yet, cannot escape his influence.
He clothes himself in her
radiance. Steals her essence, her
vitality—
hastening her demise.
