Interview With A Black Hole

set the recorder, ask the void what it knows
       feel the drag and pull but hear no noise
   then throbs of pain disrupt my heart
 does the void cause that or
      was it there from the start?
   sometimes my untrained ear hears more
"don't view as a void but an unseen door"
  but I'm on the outside, I can't pass through
     I feel shut out whilst trying to talk to you
  this power over me I can't explain
           though I agree to join forces 
     but then you refrain
          I want to walk away but I stay in place
 often with tears streaming down my face
surely not just a void, please show me more
nothing to challenge what I concluded before
    but the energy I feel when we touch
  makes me forget, think nothing is too much
       so I hover right here, waiting to know
    feeling disconnect, like I really should go
 molecules that separate, don't want to mix
  but shake us up and it looks like we're fixed
  interview attempted, tell me how things are
but just one sided chat that has gone too far
      held in the dark, drawn onto this ride 
  forget my own mind, I'm not on my own side
so compelling to be around, an attraction beckons
years pass me by, in a couple of your seconds
   you're all knowing and I'm useless chatter
I'm important now, but if I concede I won't matter
  no one is wiser at the end of these tapes
   I could listen on loop 
            remake all my mistakes
       you're a force on me I cannot translate
    a life time stranded 
            in the name of fate
