burst onto the scene
all bright smiles and glitter
you are
a thousand sparks of light
in infamous colour
an outburst of heat
all ornamentation and lust
an angel in flight

how long can you go?
the change it takes
to light up a room
is a weight in gold, my friend
and all the elegant stars
in the sky
cannot energize you
forever

will you super nova?
caught up in the air
above their heads
will you suddenly need
a safety net
god forbid
or will you just, my friend
fade away?
