two planets in my head
one with a sun
that never leaves
one with storms
that never stop
and in the dark
some hearts still look for light
in the sun
some shadows stay
people wanna leave
people wanna come home
who knows
where anyone belongs
we weren’t there at the start
we didn’t make the light
we didn’t teach the dark
we just arrived
named things
and tried to make them better
maybe one person’s mess
is another person’s normal
maybe heaven
is just a place
where we feel at home
maybe planets are made
of smaller things
a smile
a door held open
a kindness no one notices
not by big heroes
not by big sins
just us
living somewhere
between the two
and all the while
the weather keeps changing
with the things we do
without even thinking
