It Keeps Pulling and Pulling
October 11, 2009
Let me escape
the interminable need.
It pulls me,
a whisper crescendo-ing into a cacophony of voices.
I follow the voices.
I fall within its gravity.
And once I do, its soft, steel grasp
can never be undone.
And as I drown in its façade of love
never beginning
I stand so tall within a gravity,
which steps and pushes and pulls me… down.
Leave me be.
Your gravity caresses every part of me
that falls so easily.
I fall to you.
Because I know I am not strong enough.
Because my fragile conscience cannot withstand the rope
that has bound me to you.
There is only one thing I know,
One thing I can say.
And I see now,
you are the only thing that holds me.
