The death of a star

I cry everyone’s tears
I fill the ocean
I overflow

I smile with everyone’s joy
I embrace the world
I touch the sky

My joy and my sorrow
Don’t fit in my heart
No, it’s too small!

My tears won’t water the soil
They’ll cause a flood
My smile won’t bring the sunrise
It will make it a supernova

Or, am I a drop of water,
A grain of dust,
The blink of an eye?
Smiles and tears won’t matter
Once I’m gone
A massive black hole
Filled with nothing
