Singularity

A mother is a foreign concept to me 
Romance exists across a forlorn sea 
With all this talk about relationality 
It only serves to remind me I am lonely. 
While I sit in aching stillness 
My heart frantically beats 
I am grateful for my friends
Who have shown me love and care 
It is the only place where I thrive 
I am comfortable only with my kind 

…I am a moon orbiting a planet 
Carving many ellipses around the sun 
I have my path- I am afraid of another one.
Paralyzed by the eventual black holes 
The sucking wounds always grow 
So I stick to the gravity I know 
In the vast star flung universe 
I am encapsulated by the safety 
And security of my singularity.
