      If you were mine

      I wouldn’t hide my dark.

      I would guide your fingers

      to map out all the scars

      on my skin and on my heart.

      I would let you turn me inside out

      just so I could show you

      what I’m made of.

      Stardust and dark matter,

      just like you,

      I came from afar—

      I’m a beautiful alien in disguise.
