I am the world
The tectonic plates inside me
Are shifting
Molten lava at my core
Running through my veins
Looking for the cracks
No, I feel like, a galaxy
The suns around me
Become black dwarves
Around me stars suffer
Gravitational collapse
Now nothing
Can escape
The spacetime curvature
You are locked in my universe
Alone with me but
Surrounded by everything
Catching the tears that fall from my eyes
In a vial, a testube
We're drowned by my tears
Free from the make believe world we're in
We explode, shattering the universe into a million pieces
We roll on the shards
Feeling them cutting our flesh
Tearing our skin
Embedding themselves
Until we screech to a halt
The glass rasping against the floor

I love how you begin with the vastness of a planet, expand into the abstract cosmos, then collapse back into a harsh human reality.
