she felt his gravitational pull
she thought it would lead
to another universe
one glittering with stars.
instead, she was pulled into
a vast, pitch black void -
one with no life to be seen,
in which stars were only a dream.
she could only hear her heartbeat
and his voice tempting her
she started to shiver,
wondering when this would end.
suddenly, she felt a pull
from the people she loved
that pull was strong, urgent -
just what she needed to leave him.
before she knew it,
she was back in her universe,
safe, warm, loved, lively.
the stars were here all along.
