i woke up in the night
and a voice said to me
write a love poem
and i replied
with a sigh
but i do not love anybody
and nobody loves me
and the voice said
write a love poem to the sky
and i said, it is dark
and i can not see the sky
and the voice said
wrote a love poem to the rain
and i said, it does not sound like it is raining
wrote a love poem to the wind
and i said, i do not hear any wind
write a love poem to the earth
i do not want to get out of bed and go out and look at the earth
write a love poem to the moon
there is nothing on the moon
write a love poem to the stars
they are too far away
write a love poem to tom brady
i do not love tom brady quite so much any more
write a love poem to yourself
oh, all right
self, you are the most beautiful person who has ever lived
and the most deserving
and the most cruelly neglected
and the most misunderstood
and the world can never repay you for what it has done to you
it is so sad
and i really feel for you
and wish you better luck in the future
i asked the voice, are you happy now?
it did not answer right away
finally it said
thank you
