Astronomical Consequence

How can I move forward

when you are a centripetal force

you pull me

in and off course

and I am absorbed

into your atmosphere

I brace for impact

as I crash land

but I am intact

always fine on your planet

It’s only when I’ve returned to mine

that I notice the cracks

Damnit

But I come back

for more of it

circle in your orbit

aimlessly I

take the same path

the perpetual cycle

hopelessly on standby

foolishly available

waiting on the next time

your occasional boredom

has you toss me a line

and reel me back

into your gravitational pull

Slowly then all at once

I am incapable of fighting it

I plummet

to your surface

and what’s worse is

I swear

you do it on purpose

solely to see if you can

That’s not right

I fall like my wings

were clipped mid-flight

but you don’t care

despite how sad of a sight it is

You won’t acknowledge

that you caused any damages

Just because I was fucked up

before you got here

doesn’t mean

you didn’t have a hand in it
