unearthly

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

the pull you have on me is astronomical
i'm caught in your gravity im suffocating in your space
im twisting in your gravity, writhing in your moon beams
but im just another asteroid floating, falling
im just dark matter in a too-bright, too-cruel universe
push me pull me apart like a super nova
throw me in a black hole until this light
this blinding definition can no longer shine
wrap me in the dust of planets never formed and ship me out
shuttle me far from this milky-way you've made from sinew and knives
i will not be your moon; i am not your lonely satellite
you are not the sun; i am.

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

its like i am the earth and you are the pesticides that choke me
i am the sea and you are the oil that spills over me, fills me
my body is a star and you are the greedy lights that outshine me
once i grew beneath your touch and now all i do is wither, all i do is die
i beg you to breathe life in me but all i feel is your carbon-monoxide hate curl in my sky
my veins run sick with pollution
and the only cure is to intoxicate you, too

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

you spin me into a kaleidoscope sky
but one day i will want the pieces you shattered
but you'll have joined the stars
and i'll be nothing but a cloud that's twisted a shape no one can name

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

'love me til the day i die'
but what happens if i'm already dead
kiss my grave with sunflowers
like you never kissed me when i was alive

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

i'm a light bulb
this place, a power surge
the pop of shattered glass
shards buried in passing feet

reapeat

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

ghosts of me
and phantoms of you
if we come together
we may just make something
that can be seen

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

if i said i don't miss her
would you believe me
see right through me

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

go ahead, throw gasoline on me
light a match, stand in my ash
we'll see who can survive fire and flame

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

she looked up at me and there were tears in her eyes
i just wanna go home
all we wanted to do was spend a night looking at twilight skies
but no one ever warned us this was how love liked to die
