Why Stars Explode

Written By: Maranda Russell

Feeling lonely tonight,

wondering if the night sky

knows how I feel –

it seems like she would.

All that emptiness,

the vast space between each star,

perhaps that is the real reason stars explode –

not because of heat,

not because of age,

but simply due to the overwhelming shadow

cast by their own isolation.
