Darker Space 2: Star Child

She called me
And taught me a lesson
She called me
And asked me a question
Would I enter the rocket pointing away
And let the thrusters burn
Would I travel with her
And never return
She called me with a lesson
And I was starting to learn
That this place
However dark a space
It is filled with good as well as evil
And I could not bear to leave its people
I could smell the salt stain the phone line
Through tears she said the loss was mine
And she got in the pilot’s seat
Readying herself for the stars
So I asked her to wait
Saying “this fight has always been ours
I have got to try
To make you stay
There must be another way
I can’t just say goodbye”
