Your Gravity

Am I an abnormality

Static crawling under me

You look at me like I’m a flaw

Like something you should solve

I feel you lean, I feel you fall

You blame me when you lose it all

Say I’m the weight around your feet

But you were sinking way before me

Am I an abnormality?

You think I’m your gravity

Pulling you down

Keeping your feet on the ground

I don’t want a piece of you

Give me what’s true

What am I to you?

Am I needy when I speak

Or honest when I bleed

You hear hunger in my voice

Like truth was ever a choice

You say I’m asking way too much

When all I want is human touch

I don’t want your carefully cut lies

I want the fear behind your eyes

Am I an abnormality?

You think I’m your gravity

Pulling you down

Keeping your feet on the ground

I don’t want a piece of you

Give me what’s true

Nothing but you

Am I needy?

You think I’m just greedy

Say my name like it’s a crime

Look at me, don’t look away

Give it time

You will be mine

Not possession

Not control

Just the truth

Just your soul

I won’t beg, I won’t pretend

I won’t shrink to fit your hands

If you stay, then stay awake

If you run, don’t hesitate

I’m not your anchor, not your chain

I won’t carry all your blame

If I pull you, it’s because

You were already letting go

Am I an abnormality?

You think I’m your gravity

Pulling you down

Keeping your feet on the ground

I don’t want a piece of you

Give me what’s true

Give me what’s true

Or let me go
