Celestial Bodies

Constantly moving

She fell into orbit around a desolate planet

Prepared to change, rearrange, alter pieces to fit flawlessly

 

A planet devoid of gravity made it seem impossible

to stay grounded in a system doomed for destruction

 

Promises exchanged, plans made

Easily pushed aside

preferring an unfamiliar one-sided view

through a crimson tinted telescope lens

 

Desperate for her dark reality

to converge with a bright future

no matter how brief the eclipse may be

 

She struggles to weave her life through the threads of a hopeless universe

leaving her, in time, to readjust her orbit around another.
