Gravity's Wake

For the children of divorce...



Gravity's Wake
Copyright 2010 by Larry Knox

you and I
caught between the lies
welcome to my parlor
says the spider to the flies

the love we lost
came at such a cost
3 lives left shattered
one beneath the killing frost

there's no illusions
make no mistake
were either here in the moment
or caught in gravity's wake

this time we're through
say good bye to all your lies
but to your son
be true
he needs your love to see him through
to see him through

tears are shed
when innocence is bled
like the empty heart of love
drained and left for dead

years to come
when the healing has begun
I hope I see the truth that is
a mother and her son

there's no illusions
make no mistake
were either here in the moment
or caught in gravity's wake
