His own gravitational pull

absence makes the heart swell
and heave
and vomit on itself
absence makes the head implode
in on itself
whilst orbiting the bodies other organs
wondering when they might break apart
from the gaps that slowly fill them
fondness competes with paranoia
sweet eyes compete with bitter tongue
and then the lungs give out
and collapse

the gravity of his heart against mine
is slowly killing me.
