Dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city.

Disappointment.
It seeps through your heart, overwhelmingly, tangibly, palpably.
Surging wildly amongst the undercurrent of emotions,
Like a monster, threatening to swallow everything up,
Like a searing, excrutiating pain that's eating you alive.

A heavy stone plummeting down a bottomless pit.
It never hits the ground, there's no end.
A fall you can never pick yourself up from,
an old wound that will never heal.

A cataclysmic revelation.

You won't ever realise how much something means to you
until it flies right out of your hands,

beyond your grasp.
