SPACED AWAY

The idea of zero gravity sounds awesome. 
Though, in order to keep breathing through it all requires that special safety. 
I’ve always pictured it like that,  
And not any less. 
Your feet get numb after a while. You lose all the feeling. The whole time you're standing on the ground, but it never feels like that,  
Does it? 
When I walk my motion travels ten steps faster than I should have gone. It seems like your teleporting minutes ahead. 
I could be sleeping, only to feel myself running, and still be in bed. 
Just one request for a heart to calm is a lot to ask for out of my head. 
Seeing stars does not always mean a way out,  
However, 
 A way in. 
The world you live in depends on how much you depend on the stars, 
Yet those stars feel as life being miles away. 
I depend on them for a visit, a visit that only relies on the seeker’s eyes,  
And for my eyes up. 
Simple, though, so complex in the sense that you only get to see them for so long. 
And for all the years you’ve comforted me, and for the continuous, 
I give it to you, 
Sky.
