Different Lives, Different Fates

The heavier my heart, the faster I burn,

Exhausting my fuel, emptying my urn,

I go down in style, an exploding supernova,

After a million years of life, now in a Black Hole coma.

 

I'm average to the core, I'm the humble one,

My flame burns steadily, I'm the master of fusion,

I'll become a red giant- slowly shedding my outer layers,

becoming dwarfed and white, give or take a billion years. 

 

I know my place, I'm the smallest of all,

I can show endurance, let me show some gall,

I can burn so slowly, exceed the age of universe,

Burn red, be dwarfed, but live a 100 billion years.  

 

You may be average, but you are special to me, a white dwarf that will never get sullied or black,

When you are dying I'll lend you my heart's pieces, so go explode to disappear- don't remain back.
