Sun.


The sun is a large star that the planets revolve around. It provides heat to the planets surrounding it. It was once not thought to be the center of the universe, but rather, it was thought to be the Earth that was in the center of the universe. People were important, not their source of life.

The sun wasn't as important to anyone, with the exception of the man who would discover the truth about the universe later. He, Nicolaus Copernicus, would soon discover that the sun was the real center of the universe. But, no one believed him until after his death.

It was like that with me, too. We all loved one another. But, the person they all needed for survival, housing, food, and everything like that: he was ignored. It was like the sun before it was discovered to be the center of the universe. Worthless. Futile. Pointless. Scrap metal.

Then, they discovered what I really was. It took a long time. I had so many boyfriends hugging me, I thought I was going to die of being hugged that day. I remember that song being sung in my ear:

Tick, tock, goes the clock,

The blood is pouring faster.

Tick, tock, goes the clock,

You will be dead soon after.

Tick, tock, goes the clock,

Death will quickly come near,

Tick tock, goes the clock,

No one ever leaves here.

My favorite boyfriend out the five I had, he sang that to me, then kissed me, mouth to mouth. That's when he told everyone to stop crowding me, and he just laid on the floor, with me on top of him for a hour.

Tick, tock, goes the clock...

I was his Sun. He was my stars. Nothing would ever make me leave him.

The blood is pouring faster...

I didn't want him to leave my side, either.

Tick, tock, goes the clock...

He never did.

You'll be dead soon after...

But, something made me feel like I would leave him unwillingly, before either of us could try to leave the other.

Tick, tock, goes the clock...

Something scary. Something that I wouldn't be able to fight; that would take me before I took even the tiniest step away from him.

Death will quickly come near...

It was quickly approaching. I could feel it.

Tick, tock, goes the clock...

I was getting chills up my spine. It was scaring me, almost to death.

No one ever leaves here.

Which is why I wanted to scream when I found myself collapsing in his arms.
