Astrophysical Love Triangle
Eons ago, there was a binary star,
Vibrant, perennial, and extremely far.
Like a sweet couple,
in an orbital hustle.
But alas, the harmony was temporary.
The future was different from the events contemporary.
They entered a zone of strong gravity.
An object which caused a deep cavity.
An uninvited member trying to tangle,
making an astrophysical love triangle.
The black-hole attracts one of the pair,
sending the other one into despair.
Alone and gloomy, carrying sheer animosity,
It’s ready to leave the galaxy with hyper-velocity.
