Laugh, baby.
laugh because the soles of our sneakers are comin off, because we keep runningeverythingtogether and can't tell it apart and you know the sun is going down
with the ashes of ours

Simper, darling.
simper for the eloquence of our planet in which we thrive as a similar species,
knitting lives with smells of leather and the quintessence of our pins and needles,
the ones in the boxy equipment-feet

Smile, gorgeous.
smile if the lights so happen to light up your cheekbones and neck with the softer kind of night for once; I know you've yearned for it before, honey, but you just
haven't had the chance to get the well-deserved thrill of the stage

Float, beautiful.
float butterflies that are embedded in your chrysalis chest; you'll bloom soon enough and your petals won't fall for hours and hours, you know there's still enough
cellophane pink and blue to stuff your eyeballs
Little love letters from four people, I think. They are each quite different... but they all love, don’t they?
And this is why I shouldn’t go about writing things late at night x)

Ok So I enjoyed this poem, a lot. I liked how the structure though it seemed random at first, was actually really consistent and well thought out. One thing I might suggest is to find a different verb for the last stanze because for some reason "flutter" just seems a little weak compared to the other verbs that you use in this poem. Also is it supposed to be a spoken poem? Because it really feels like it's supposed to be spoken. I also like how vividly you portray the four voices.
