gravity

you pulled me into your orbit and i felt free, hurtling a million miles an hour on a new path but you didn't tell me the weight, the cost, and i was too caught up to ask.

you pulled me into your erratic dance, your momentum, and i loved the chaotic ride. i didn't know you were still a slingshot, and suddenly i am hurtling away from you faster than you pulled me in. you're so icy blue, beautiful but frigid, dangerous, and deadly.

at least your fling was swift and hard, and you sent me so far away you'll never pull me in again. interstellar, void, dark, but peacefully, chaoticly, dangerously outside your reach.
