Perfection Lost
You were perfect
ragged
baggy clothes
shadows under your eyes
hair that fell in your face
every time you looked down
I loved you
I knew you
better than anyone
better than myself
I used to see your face
when I fell asleep
I thought
that I had found you
and every morning I would wake up in tears
because you were gone
again
That night you said
if she stopped loving you
you would die
and your eyes screamed that you were alone
and I was scared because I didn’t know
anything at all
please
don’t leave me
why do you even care?
I love you
I love you
I love you
but I didn’t say that
did I?
We never said goodbye
I didn’t understand then
what that scar was for
but I do now
and I can’t tell you
where are you?
where have you been?
because I’ve been looking
in every town and every
dream
I need you to know
what I should have said
years ago
