Outcast
I think that he is an outlaw of physics
Because it is not gravity that holds the Earth together,
It’s him.
And the stars and the moon and the planets
Revolve around his smile
And he can melt a thousand boulders with his glare
And he’s the oxygen in the air
And when he laughs, he makes meteorites collide
And with the steady pace of his breath,
He controls the winds and the tide
And I know that this doesn’t abide by the laws of
Physics,
But I swear it’s true.
If he goes,
The stars in the sky will no longer shine,
And all of Earth’s creatures will soon fall blind,
And the world will be over and the sky will fall
And we will hear nothing,
See nothing,
Feel nothing.
I think that he is an outlaw of biology,
Because it is not my blood that runs through my veins,
It’s his.
And my lungs don’t draw in oxygen,
But I breathe him in with every gust of wind.
His heart beats as mine beats,
And my blood spills if his leaks,
And his laughter is my joy,
And with his agony, I’m destroyed.
He consumes me.
And I know that doesn’t agree with the fundamentals of
Biology,
But I swear it’s true.
If he goes,
My organs will rip apart,
And my blood would spill onto the pavement as paint spills on art,
And my body will become paralyzed and I will decompose
And I will hear nothing,
See nothing,
Feel nothing.
