Gravity from Skybound by Octavia McAloon

Like the coursing of a stream, like the sorry ships as waves careen,
As the leaf falls from the tree, I am pulled.
I am pulled by your gravity.

I can't ask you to choose, but if I could
I would take your sorrowed mind and give you all the time you need.
And I would guard your heavy heart my dear and for you I would bleed.

And I would pull you from the waters as they run.

I'm telling you to go; you're safer if you leave this place.
Can't bear to mention what you surely know.
But I'll leave you this kiss upon your face.

I can't ask you to stay, but if you did,
I would mend your tattered soul and love you oh so tenderly,
I'd trail my fingers down your spine and be forever bound to thee.

And I would pull you from the waters as they run.
