Gravity

A weight in the center of my chest so heavy that 

it holds worlds in orbit

Even light bends to it’s will

A spiral march towards oblivion

 

If only I could get my feet underneath me

If only this pull would wain for an instant

If only I could think!

 

No logic found

No reason grasped

Desire or need shows no escape

 

This pain steals my breath, but I fear it’s gravity

is the only thing holding me together

Down, into the abyss I go

The forfeiture of hope as my only ally
