To Be Something Great

Hah..
To think how foolish I was..
Why did I need to care about such mundane, obsolete things..?
I've dwelled here for so long.. and I've seen so much.
Every star's birth and death, the formation of galaxies. The creation of life a thousand times over, in a thousand different worlds. Nebulas, quasars, neutron stars. I've seen it all. There was never a need for colors and tones. My world never needed anything other than the monotone. The void has provided me with boundless knowledge and limitless perspective, and has given me sights of the true beauty of the universe. 
This gray void I've been suspended in is beautiful itself. It's so perfectly empty.. so perfectly devoid. The views I've seen from this abyss are truly gorgeous. I have no regrets. Except.. maybe..
My only regret.. is her. She weeps by my tomb. For I am no longer there by her side. I feel sick to my stomach. Are my newfound nihilistic ideals wrong? Has the abyss taken away my own identity? Have I.. become nothing more than a blank, faded slate?
Ah.. Ah.. I realize it now. To be something great.. is to lose what you have. I have lost what it means to be a human. To be myself. I am sorry, my love, for I have failed you. The world isn’t meant to be monochromatic and monotonous. It needs to be filled with color, and emotion, and depth. What meaning does a blank frame without soul hold..?
But now I am many, blinded by the stars. They have lied to me. As regret fills my mind, the bliss takes over my head again. No time to grieve, nor remorse over my fate. Nothing but empty voids and a broken gray canvas remain. Goodbye, my love. One day, may fate reunite us. Maybe in another world, where we can be happy.. In a world.. where those ocean blue eyes of yours can shine again. In another world.. where my canvas will fill with beautiful shades again.
