“Twisted Love Letter To Earth“
At midnight I let my thoughts run wild
Thinking of you, beautiful world
Whose complexion I can’t see yet
Whose identity is still hidden
My insomnia keeps me awake
Imagining your irises
It almost seems better than discovering you
Almost
Remember this
When I get quiet and I stare at you
Blue sky, brown trees, humans that cry,
Fall,
And leave
It’s only because I’m insecure, beautiful world
But I’m almost ready to love you
Almost
