The Mariana Trench and the Asteroid Belt

So let's leave the lights off and forget about our sins

(You know we've both done things we're not proud of)

Sink into the blankets like they're ocean waves

Drown in each other's presence and the inky blue

I just want to swim next to you

I'd become your bed of kelp,

Your favorite fish or coral.

But this isn't working,

Because you'd rather be in space.

You accused me of holding you down

So you threw me into the Mariana Trench and never looked back.

I decided I didn't want to be without you,

So I attempted to become your sun.

But you wanted a star from a different galaxy and

Left me in the asteroid belt to forever be shattered.

Through all this pressure, lack of oxygen, and constant battering,

I'm drawn to you.

I guess you got the star you wanted,

Because I still feel the gravity.
