Time Doesn't Exist Near Black Holes
Time is like a hurricane passing by
Winds moving over 75 miles per hour
Only to seemingly slow or hault once it hits
Like a home run swinging past home base wanting for the players to give chase
But being stopped by the fence
Time reminds me of the breeze flowing through your hair
Blowing past your face
The sun's glistening, golden hands reaching out to roll through the strands
Now I can only think it's so unfair those hands weren't mine
And how I was jealous of a giant ball of hot gas
That was about 149.6 million kilometers away
You loved astronomy
Including all the burning giants of our deep blue galaxy
That reminded me of your deep blue eyes
So I suppose my black hole of jealousy was rational
You always wanted to be with a star
Time is a funny thing
It can be a quick fling
Or seemingly last forever
A little infinite
Or a drawn out lifetime of emotion
Subtly ticking away
Inch by inch
Except time isn't measured in length
It's measured in moments
Like the hurricane which may drag across the earth for miles yet
The only time it counts is when I got to see the breeze it causes
Which runs through your hair
letting the sun slide its brilliant touch through the strands
A moment in time
Frozen for eternity
Like a black hole's heart
