I am a force
To be reckoned with
But I can't help
But be pulled
By your gravity
Are you the Earth
And I, the moon?
Orbiting for eternity
Close but not quite touching
Near yet so far
Am I an asteroid?
Speeding across the galaxy
Burning brightly in your sky
And then crashing into you
My remains only a blemish
On your beautiful face
Are we twin stars?
Revolving around a common point
A dance perfected across millenia
Our audience, the planets
Our witness, the constellations
Or are you a black hole?
Devouring everything in sight
Slowly seeping away at my light
I grow weaker and weaker
Still entirely devoted
Until I am no more

I am a force
To be reckoned with
But I can't help
But be pulled
By your gravity
Are you the Earth
And I, the moon?
Orbiting for eternity
Close but not quite touching
Near yet so far
Am I an asteroid?
Speeding across the galaxy
Burning brightly in your sky
And then crashing into you
My remains only a blemish
On your beautiful face
Are we twin stars?
Revolving around a common point
A dance perfected across millenia
Our audience, the planets
Our witness, the constellations
Or are you a black hole?
Devouring everything in sight
Slowly seeping away at my light
I grow weaker and weaker
Still entirely devoted
Until I am no more
