Thread Topic: The Archives of the Colony at Helios, the Last Star

This'll be my thread for writing related stuff, including things I write, worldbuilding and perhaps other related things.
Feel free to give feedback, I don't really have anyone to help me out in that way anymore given the writing group I used to be in, dissolved...
Keep in mind for the worldbuilding though that I don't necessarily do it only for the writing, as most people do. I do my worldbuilding for its own sake and if I can tell stories in the setting, that is awesome. I also use stories to flesh the setting out. But its mere existence is not FOR the writing. -
Back then we were one and the same.
Now we're off playing different games.
You're a loner and I'm alone,
And I don't know much longer I can go. -
In my head it's raining tears
But the world sees not a single one. -
[ Humans ]
Uncharted chasms, stars built of faultlines,
Blighted ignorance, overbrightened minds,
Burned too hot, now they spark out,
Now all that's left is apathy and doubt.
All hope lost, swallowed by the night,
Yet none will rest, until we make this right.
A tradgedy they've made, we shall unravel,
To the ends of the infinite cosmos we'll travel
If it makes this injustice no more.
This, as humans, we can promise from the core. -
I may also grab some of the stuff I've written in my thread that's been buried there. Maybe someday I'll go through and dig up all the writing in there that I like and post it here + save it elsewhere, I've got many years of stuff in there.

A forever caged heart is a fate worse than death.
-
Frozen, sharp shores to an uncaring cosmos,
Awaiting with bated breath the fool who will step.
Found stranded, surrounded, and fear unsounded,
Surely no time for signal nor reply,
To warn the wondering world.
Through the blaze to a frozen fate,
There is more to this spacetime than meets the eye.
There is nothing out there for you, the void said.
There is destiny, the fool replied, before he died.
Metal, water and mountains of lead,
Cannot protect when destiny wants you dead. -
It's hard to believe
It's been so long
Since I felt that fire
Deep in my heart
You still live in my thoughts
Like you always did before
But now you're never there
So they're only reminders
Of what I can never have
It was you and me against the world
But now it's just me and the weight
For you I could hold up the sky,
Now I can only hold in the cry.
You were my world, now I'm left in space,
Drifting in a fate I thought I'd never face.
I still love you to death, don't get me wrong
But that's beginning to become a problem
You and I were capable of anything,
Now I'm left with the storm
You and I, I thought our paths were a Y,
They were an X and it hurts to realize
I just want to love you again
We could love now far better than then.
But you're off in another world
That I can never meet you in
You're content being alone, but I'm dying
I want to reach you, but I can't keep trying
Not forever, not always,
I will break, one of these days.
And when you find yourself
Both alone and lonely,
You'll know what it is,
You've done to me.
I won't be there to say it's okay,
I won't be there to apologize,
For letting you slip away
Or for all those times
I muted my cries.
I won't be there, because I'll be gone,
With my own world to be lost on
Every night, long before dawn,
I'll look to the sky and sing our song
I'll love you, from distant afar,
Hoping I'm not just another scar.
To me, you'll never be,
Just another star. -
Send a signal, send a sign
Please don't leave me blind
Alone, I cannot face this storm,
Without you, I am broken and torn
You're all I wanted, all I need,
Can't you see? I'm caught in your gravity!
You're unmoved, I'm only a satellite,
Small, artificial and cold, awash in your light,
I can orbit forever, without any notice
I'm just smart enough to know this
But just too dumb to care -
I'd walk with you to the end of time,
But now you're lost out in the moonlight.
I see now that our intentions did not rhyme. -
"Longing"
Sometimes uncertain, sometimes lost,
Sometimes I feel I'll never be found
I make myself known to the world
But this world never answers
I wander the shadows
Where no one ever goes
On the edges of life
One step from the abyss
A ghost on the fringe
Of all that is.
I dream of the day
We meet again
Maybe in another time
Maybe in another life
I dream of the day
I learn of love again
And feel what we felt
Maybe it'll come someday
A man can surely dream.
A brighter day to live,
A future full of love.
A man can dream.
A man can dream. -
I can feel it, the darkness all around,
Beams of hope shine through the cracks
Shifting, fading, ever changing
This place not so frigid
Yet I feel it the same.
Frostbite of the hands,
In this desolate waste
Another world, another chance
But what is a chance,
If never manifest?
Held to weather this storm
Feet buried in stardust.
I look to the sky,
But there's only clouds,
Like every other side
No restraints to fight
But nowhere to go
I can only wait here
Until my spirit falls below
The darkness closes in
I can feel myself fall away
Maybe I'll find my way back someday
From the place beyond the world
From the date beyond time
Lost beyond the void
And all significance
Among the fallen and cursed sighted,
My spirit both broken and ignited
I know the truth, and every agony
I know what it means to be free
Living in a world of force
But no direction to its name
Casting hope and doubt and praise and blame
As the whole thing slowly goes up in flames
And yet hearts only grow cold,
Starting from the hands
I think now everyone knows
What it's like to be buried in those sands
Hope always just beyond your grasp
Maybe my purpose
Is to relate to someone's last gasp -
You and I
Have always been something
Something really and truly real
I knew from the start
That we'd go far
But I never considered
We'd reach through time
It's not what I thought
But I'm happy nonetheless
Because more time with you yet,
Is more than I thought we'd get
And yet the shadows long for more
My core stands steady
Where he knows he can be strong,
Bathed in the light and certainty's view
But sometimes I wonder,
What would you say,
If I said that I love you?
Star-crossed, lost on different skies,
Watching for your stars to align
For the aurorae to paint our fate
Waiting, anticipating,
For a day that's not on its way
Close enough to feel your touch
But oh, it never did
We reached through the depths of time
I can feel your fingertips against mine
But that's all it was
A touch because I'm blind
Am I pretending my life away,
While you're out living yours?
Am I sat here loving in vain,
While everyone else learns to soar?
Wandering the dark while you see,
And navigate the fog more freely?
Now I realize, I painted the fog
It's these thoughts that shackle me,
Let go of the dream to set myself free,
But there goes hope, into the skies
Above where my mind lives wondering why
Please believe, I do understand
I can see your perspective, I really can,
But my heart begs for an impossibility,
So please don't mind me,
When I express the pain,
I know it forwards me no gain,
I know it won't change your mind
Just like I can't change mine
So I hope you get your happily ever after
Somewhere out there, in these star-crossed skies
