Mercury, We came in close and so fast I wondered who was In orbit around who When in actuality We encircled each other. You wore copper eyeshadow And I still think it's the most beautiful thing you've ever worn
Venus, Your hair was so lovely You claimed you never needed to brush it Because I would always run my hands through it anyways. You had dimples and reminded me Of some forgotten lullaby. I wish you sang me to sleep.
Earth, Down to it and practical I don't know how we ever fit, Seeing as I'm in the clouds And you're firm in the ground. We can't reach each other The distance is sometimes too much.
Mars, You loved me before you knew me And that was a mistake Because I was in a bad place And I only brought you Further down I'm sorry honey.
Jupiter, So I chucked plans and list Out the window for you, Threw my heart Into your Hands. Did you even want it? Or did you want my tally marked heart?
Saturn, 'Marry me We can live Together far away From all these disappointments." But I didn't want to leave, Because if I left, I'd never stop drifting. You didn't like my answer.
Uranus, Things with you were so so backwards I asked you to be mine I bought you flowers I kissed first I tried To stop But I love Too much Too fast Too pure
Neptune, We're constellations I could look at the star streaked sky While you pushed the swing higher And higher, And see Us Holding hands But I left Because your permanence scared me I apologize for disappearing
Pluto,* We haven't met yet In this romantic dance But I hope you have a wonderful heart If you're reading this Or if you read it one day I would just like to hold your hand And tell you how beautiful you are I don't need much Just a chance
