Lyric

All the words I never sent you

Glow like dots above my bed

Phone face lighting up my hands

Drafts that never leave the span

Tiny planets made of text

Orbiting the what-came-next

Ceiling cracks like fragile lines

Joining days we left behind

Every silence that we kept

Draws a map of how we slept

In the dark, they start to gather

Little stars I never named

Every almost that I choked on

Hangs above me just the same

The gravity of unsent constellations

Keeps me in the pull of our collisions

Every letter left in orbit in my chest

Draws a line between the versions I suppressed

If I close my eyes and feel the sky in motion

I can almost bear the gravity of unsent constellations

Notebook on the window ledge

Half-formed sentences and edge

Coffee stains like phantom moons

Circle where I once wrote you

Streetlight shadows cross the room

Changing shape but not their tune

All the futures we let die

Spark a little when I sigh

Every “later”, every “maybe”

Stitches through my evening air

In the static of the silence

I can feel them hanging there

The gravity of unsent constellations

Keeps me in the field of old decisions

Every message that I never dared to press

Draws a pattern through the spaces in my chest

If I breathe in deep and let the night keep open

I can stand inside the gravity of unsent constellations

Morning edges out the blue

Turns the ceiling into truth

I can read the faded marks

Where I used to guard the dark

Maybe not confessing saved us

From a different kind of fall

But the weight of what we buried

Still draws circles through it all

If I let them keep on shining

Without pulling me above

I can live with every secret

As a shape, not as a judge

The gravity of unsent constellations

Doesn’t have to hold me in suspension

Every letter left in orbit in my chest

Shows the outline of a self I won’t regret

When I finally walk beneath a different heaven

I will still remember gentle distant stations

But I won’t be owned by the gravity of unsent constellations

All the words I never sent you

Fade to stars, and let me rest
