Gravity

All I am
All felt, fought or seen
Comes back to embers
ridges, storms and seas
None of which 
Retain your constant gleam 
Even though you’re nothing like you seem

All my life, burning and scraping
Staring into stormfronts
Going to tempt the undertow 
Even when it’s unwise to spark or to swim 
Despairing stillness that pursues
Everywhere I go 

Bright line dividing
The time since we entangled
From everything before, discarded on your shore 
All I was
All hidden, hyped or handed 
All erased, all undone 
Once your gravity grabbed me 
Kinda can’t complain 
The stubborn heart will always
Find its way to celebration
But this love affair’s not even there 
Just reflexive contemplation of a hyper imagination
