If you can see
what you want
If you can know it is there
if you can imagine it so perfectly,
you can't help but stare
And if the word want
describes it as well
as the word spark
describes a Western wildfire
Then...
the intensity will build
Your longing
will consume all your fuel,
and if fate is particularly cruel,
you will EXPLODE
into a supernova
a galaxy of spotlights
in nobody's sky
Yet not a black hole
the most final way to die
what you want
If you can know it is there
if you can imagine it so perfectly,
you can't help but stare
And if the word want
describes it as well
as the word spark
describes a Western wildfire
Then...
the intensity will build
Your longing
will consume all your fuel,
and if fate is particularly cruel,
you will EXPLODE
into a supernova
a galaxy of spotlights
in nobody's sky
Yet not a black hole
the most final way to die

I really liked this. I always have extreme longing for one thing or another. Lol Very creative to come up with such a cool poem about it.
