Gravity

((Written for a competition judged by Philip Pullman, didn't win. Apparently I should have made the gravity thing a bit more blatant.))

I fell again,
Broken and damned by
The angel of mercy.
Calling my name.

I had a choice,
Death or damnation.
I chose to fall,
Surrendering.

I’m falling out of reach.
I’m crying out your name.
I’m clawing at the air.
Wrenched from you,
Fighting against gravity.
Unable to win, an eternity of loss.
