I feel it

from my fingertips
like sand in an hourglass,
The suffocating pull of gravity
Dragging
me
                                            f­urther
                                                          ­   and
                                                             ­                     further away
until finally I have disappeared from the face of the Earth
And into the glacial depths of Space.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before this happiness
Derailed
From the tracks,
It would never have reached its final destination without experiencing some
Destruction
During it's journey.

The thing that is crushing me the most is that I didn't even have long enough
To taste the forbidden fruit of happiness long enough to
Savour it and I am left with a sour taste in my mouth.

I'm losing it again,
And I am terrified that the black hole that I managed to crawl out of will
Swallow
me
*Whole.
