Love Poem: Gravity

Gravity

Insincere ‘I love you’s;
Hot uncomfortably raging 
I brought something different to your world;
I couldn’t dim my flame to match yours; 
Everything about me is eternal;
The spell you wove and the spell you choked,
broken even together;

Gravity like the truth cannot be fooled; 
We are undeniable attraction; 

Shattered into awakening, 
with this clearing you grow and let go;
Memoirs become the foundation
for the next chapter to be written; 
Faster than you can blink 
or composed nice and slow
you rebuild again;
Genuine hearts lead to renewal;

In a world of hollow we are the faithful; 
We will always know each other’s glow,
always find each other;

Gravity like the truth cannot be fooled;
We are undeniable attraction.
