I’ve Learned; Satellites
You said
we just wait to die here
waiting on something to happen
day in and day out.
I asked you for a cigarette
as I had none
no phone or wallet
no pictures or proof,
completely on my own.
You said it wasn’t a planet
but a satellite
that we were looking at.
I felt like satellites
bouncing off each other
receiving information
as it came to me
from another source
other than my own.
Closer than the moon
made of metal
no windows were visible
no doors or ladders
You just hung in the air
like you were meant to me there,
yet all I did was stare
and believe
in what I saw.
I wanted to go to it
but didn’t know how.
So instead I stayed
and went to sleep.
I woke up
in the middle of the night
to only try to help
those in my sight.
It felt like the end
my only chance
but I hope I get another one
just one more chance
to really go to you
on my own.
I thought you would come to me
because I’m only human
years of lies, deceit, and manipulation
built inside of me
from the things that I heard
and the things that I saw.
Now I wait patiently
for your return
to see your so called satellite
maybe it will take me away from here
I’m so tired here
and I just want to go home
but I won’t go
without a fight
I need a natural life
and I know I’ll see you again.
But if I could travel with you
it’d be a dream come true.
