I Need Some Space

We’re all just stardust in a black-hole sky,
And you let me fall out of orbit tonight-
Until all but one particle of sand remained,
Talking about how our dusty, starry world was strange.

You and I are just another block of atoms that will never touch,
Emitting wave-lengths of all of me wasn’t enough.
Orbiting but never close enough to collide –
You said you were mine,
But now I’m thinking you lied.

I’m on another planet now calling you from here,
And you’re all alone grappling at thin air-
Maybe if you hadn’t let the dust settle on the phone,
By now you’d be calling me home.

Light years apart,
Two broken hearts, are drifting in space –
She’s burning bright ~
And he’s been replaced.
