Swallow

There is a hollow point at the centre of my body. It scares me.

It is a black hole that follows me. Slowly expanding pulling more and more of me apart, scattering the pieces and swallowing them whole.

Stay back, far back from me. Don't stand too close. You are a sun. A sun must shine.

Please.

Please don't.

Please, get back.

Please, stay away.

Ple-

Can light exist with out dark?

Can a sun shine with the infinite darkness behind it?

Your light makes my darkness only the more darker, more scary, more infinite.

But I need it.
