All the Gravity In the World

Remember how you loved me
till we lost all our control?     
Our tender, whispered secrets 
now coldly go untold.
I find only this feeling
to the pit of my soul:
I am falling, I am falling inside a black hole
with all the gravity in the world.

I am shivering all over
without your warm embrace,
for me there is no sunlight,
no smile on your face,
I am left alone here feeling
at the absence of grace:
I am falling, I am falling through the blackness of space
with all the gravity in the world.

If you would only answer 
again I confess
till I lost you I was thoughtless,
I squandered love's success.
Don't abandon me to feeling
what words barely can express:
I am falling, I am falling in the blackest emptiness
with all the gravity in the world.
