Gravity

Gravity won’t let me go

Gravity won’t let me go

I’m in such awe

Yet such dismay

The finite becomes infinite

Through hues of blue and grey

The darkness overwhelms my eyes at first

But something bright amid the black

It saves me from my worst

I’m higher than any man could say

But lower than the lowest point that earth can hide from me

And there she is

How can I look away

Hope glimmers all around her

But my eyes don’t seem to sway

You never seemed more beautiful

Than any time I looked before

One second more I fear I may go blind

I know that I should carry on

But I cannot forget that warmth

Staring at the sun heeds warning from mankind

Gravity won’t let me go

Gravity won’t let me go

You’ll always shine no matter where you hide

A piece of you reflects off all the matter floating by

Into the void however I may yearn

Where darkness will consume me until earth

I shall return

Though night may never fall the same

And day may never rise again

I know the orbit you inspire will set me free

I could spend another age

Drifting further away

But I hope gravity will pull me back some day

I can see for miles away

Alone and so afraid

Of what the darkness has in store for me

I can see you start to fade

Along this journey I have made

But I can’t thank you more for lighting the way
