Gravity Grave

You are my ticket to the moon,

An escape - high above this barren life.

You show me the sunrise,

Through your eyes,

I see me - invincible, inconsequential.

Everything seems possible,

For this misery is but another grain of sand.

Bathed in that sunlight, I’m whole.

I’m me - whoever I want to be.

You see through the facade, my mask of courage,

You know the face behind the fear.

I feel alive,

Exhilaration breaking my every rule.

Freedom, I can feel in my soul,

Floating through space,

Free from all things mortal.

Renewed hope and fresh perspective,

And now, I conquer the universe.

The higher I fly,

The closer we get.

The higher I fly,

The harder I fall,

Fall into myself.

Gravity - my final thread of reality - pulls me back.

I suppose, there is a universe inside me.

I only need to look into the eyes staring back at me,

For all that separates us is this mirror.
