I guess that I see you now,
lost from the moments of high flying dramatics,
and into the realm of everyday,
where reality comes in on the undertow.
I suppose that these are things to be expected,
failure has always been my bully,
and I'm scared of losing you,
but I cannot keep you,
I will not betray myself.
Planets are called such for their sense of gravity,
and ours doesn't balance,
no equilibrium, no matter how hard I try.
And the taste of blood is bitter from my bitten tongue.
Your words are spun into loom,
that threads bondage,
around my heart that's too soft,
I don't care anymore.
I can't fight who I am,
and I won't for your sake,
not for anyone,
I remain a devoted instrument.
And I have made sacrifices you will never know.
