Gravity

originally titled For Planet Moon from Island Star, January 24, 2007


I hate the way it's always you 
and it's never me. 

But i hate it more 
when it starts to be me 
and it 
stops 
to be you. 

I hate the way you push me away 
while i desperately try to pull myself towards you. 
That's not how gravity works--
you're supposed to pull me closer.

I hate the way i hear you whisper 
but you never hear me scream.

I hate the way you let me hear 
but won't let me listen.

I hate the way i start with words,words,words 
and more words 
and you end everything 
with a period.
