how can i say
exactly what’s keeping me from you
when i’m not so sure myself?

if you could see my mind
spinning on its axis
like a planet gone off course,
you might understand.

i know, i know,
i am the one with my fingertip
on the axis, i should stop it.

it is fear that keeps it spinning,
fear and frustration
and the pulling of the moon,
the moon i’m afraid i’ll never reach.
