The Gravity Of Stars by Jude Kyrie

Are you leaving me once more? 
Whispered conversations are 
falling down a spiral staircase 
ike secrets as they fall. 

I can hear them in the silence 
Yet I don’t. 
The same way that voices are lost  
In the climax of lovemaking. 

The same way the sky disappears 
when night stars ignite. 
The same way stars disappear 
when daybreak calls. 

I listen intently to your footfall. 
Walking away with only echoes remaining.
And inside my chest only
the sounds that a heart makes when breaking. 

So I return to the room in my heart 
that is my safe haven 
And contemplate the dangers in your eyes. 
And the gravity of stars
