to god, if you're out there.

the moon was so close,
i could feel the tides
and my soul being whisked away.

its gravitational pull is enough
to bring me to the stars,
bring me to the quasars
and jupiter's moons.

please, just take me away.

take me away
like those shiny gems,
lustrous and broken.

take me away
and let me slink through
the blankets of the night sky.

maybe it feels like
sinking into the stars
and the air tastes sweet.

please, just take me away.

and god, please don't feed me
to the monsters that
ate the gems,
the ones that ate planets
and bittersweet nostalgias.

don't bring me to them.

don't send me there.

they are not heavenbound,
but they were not
from the depths of hell either.

they came from black holes
and they are the things that
are sucking pieces of our galaxy
away into their cavernous mouths.

ungodly, deadly things.

our home, will be gone.

yes, i am listening.

i am listening to the end of all i know.
