I am an asteroid on its course, holding steady to what appears random
but in the emptiness, the nothingness that dominates
a sun appears, unnamed and before unseen
as I approach I feel myself catch fire
the layers of ice and elements shedding in displays of brilliant light
colors radiate, I shimmer like a star
but as I come close, my angle brings me too near
I'm caught in your gravity, my path becomes unclear
there's no hope for escape, if given the chance
I would not choose to return to the expanse
you narrow my elliptical flight
I get brighter and brighter as I near your surface
as I stare into d**h, I begin to get nervous
if I could have only found an orbit, I would've loved to be your planet
