Gravitational Attraction

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

You have a hold on me.

I cannot run too far
before you pull me back in.

You drag me to the ground,
bringing me to my knees
with your forceful grasp.

I thought I was strong enough
to walk away from you,
but your touch weakens me.

I feel you move through me.

You have power over me,
and you take advantage of it.

I can’t seem to let you go
even though you keep me down.

Rewrite 2012

You have a hold of me.

I cannot run too far
before you pull me back in.

You drag me to the ground,
throwing me to my knees
with your influence.

I thought I was strong enough
to walk away from you,
but your touch weakens me.

You have power over me,
and you take advantage of it.

I can’t seem to let you go
even though you bring me down.
