Nihilist

The storm outside brews with an ominous mist

It'd be hard to traverse through

When the rain covers your face

with a heavy pressure

That soaks to the walls of your mind

The lightning speeding through

To distract you from chasing

The one thing you looked for

Your whole life

You could be anywhere

Wearing an identity as a mask

A new face, a new name

Libra using her shifting

With the dust of dead stars

Hiding the center of the universe

Behind an infinite barrier

Of echoed screams

That are left unheard

You hear those screams

You feel every star that explodes

You know every sound

Has a meaning

Even if it isn't heard

Even if it doesn't leave a mark

if the sharp cold of space

Froze and shattered its purpose

Leaving the broken glass of their helmet

To drift forever

While you trace lines in the streets

Shattering the roads instead

The skyscrapers of human achievement

To remind them

Can't orbit their existence

And when they find

Their significance to our scale

They'll forget what they've created

And let ash fall with the snow

Flooding their minds with sorrow

Knowing they can't control

The movements of the stars

But we can

We can hold each side of the balance

Until the gravity is level

But you took that balance with you

When your soul lost its gravity

Floating to meet

With the others glimmering in the sky
