A little bit harder
next time.
Push and push
me.
I will never get farther
without you
behind me.
There exists a will
inside me,
so small,
only the flicker
of a candle flame.
Not enough to break
this hold you have
one me.
Push me.
Push me.
I can break gravity.
Then you’ll see me
in the night sky,
shining on my journey
for a while,
before I’m gone
forever.
If I can only
slip your grasp.
Let go
and push me,
push me
away.
