Immortality
That was my mistake
Achieving it
Was my only goal
I wanted to see the end of the universe
Everyone has always
Seemed to crave it
Exploring the galaxy
But what they'll never understand
Is that it's lonely, so very lonely
No one will ever understand
The toll it takes on your mind
Watching everyone you've known
Everyone you've loved
Pass by, gone forever
You will learn things
Astonishing things
Horrifying thing
Some will stun you
For good, or bad
Some of the knowledge you learn
Can never be shared
It must be kept a secret
Because otherwise
Reality could burn
And no one can stay
Not one, no matter how many times
They say they will always be there for you
They all will leave
In one way or another
Seeing so many lives
So many places
So many amazing creations
It truly is beautiful
But it will never replace the hole left in you
It takes a piece out of you
Hollows a person
Ruins a life
It hurts you, burdens you
With an unbearable weight
You watch everyone
Age and grow
Move on and die
And they watch you stay the same
Day upon year upon eon
You don't fear death
No, death is welcome, should it come
What you fear is yourself
That one day
You'll snap
That all the lives
And all the loss
And all the running
And living
Will catch up to you
The anger
And pain
That spans eras
Will burst out
Destroying everything
And you'll change
For the worse
Permanently
And no one can stop you
Because of all that you know
Lasting for eternity
Will destroy you
It will crush you
And burn you
In any way that it can
So there's nothing for you to fear
But loss and yourself
As you drift
Alone
Forever
