Solar System
By Emma
Solar System Would you own me then? Somehow thinking that I am within your grasp As you turn, they turn So should it be with me? You are the center Bright and burning All is as you say it is But I will not be manipulated to Your will I only gently circle On the outskirts And make a pretense But maybe… I’ll break free And yet, I know the thought of me Hurling off into the universe Gone forever Would bring you no grief Only… Neptune Would follow suit And he belongs to you So you believe There is a universe out there And here I stand Forced Forever a silent witness To your white-hot raging Tiny Pluto Smallest of planets (some say not even a planet) on the edge of the solar system That she did not create Trapped by gravity Caught in your orbit But we both know That I am not here for you And I do not feel or fear Your vengeful heat Let mercury and venus serve you Worship you,Appease you Love you Cursed by their proximity You are all they see Let them burn in your tyranny and wrath For they will never leave you But I I am out here Far from you Darkness and silence my cover I am Ice and rock Unmoved Except by your distant pull Written February 27th, 2002 © on Feb 27 2002 12:48 PM PST 0 • 1
