I want the moon.
It will reflect me
Back at myself
So I can see my faults
And shortcomings.

I want the sun.
It will illuminate
The shadowy corners
Of who I am,
And I will know myself.

I want the planets.
They will fill my mind
With things
Yet unknown
And I can become wise.

I want the stars.
They will fall into my soul,
Jewel-encrust me
With their light,
And shine in my eyes.

And you will have no choice
But to love me
Because I have the universe
Bleeding from my veins.
