Lovers on the Moon

The distance 'tween you and the world couldn't be more stark.
You are color and heat; all else is cold and dark.
Being alone in the vacuuum? It was debilitating.
The world and our embrace, though? Both are suffocating.
My lungs gasp hollow without you, and viscous with you around.
My senses all know nothing but your closeness and the ground.
I traded all the world for you; lost gravity in the barter.
Untethered to all but you, there's naught to do but cling harder.
