They say that nobody is perfect
But Im willing to disagree
For when it comes to you
The world must be blind
And part of me is satisfied that it is
For I want your perfection
To only be for my eyes
Though its hard to say what makes
You perfect
Could it be your silky smooth skin
Or maybe its your long curly hair
Or maybe its your smile
For I pray that you never stop smiling
The sun shines bright
Perfection exists
And I see her everyday

Its hard to let you go
Like summer leaves falling
From autumn trees
As I look to fast forward
The time we shared keeps
Me in rewind, but there's no point
For you are consumed, trapped
In a tunnel full of compliments
That only lead to disappointment
The next morning
But the praise I gave was
Only for you
As your head rests against my chest,
Your soul tangled with my heart
Which created a connection
We both couldn't resist
Month after month of silence
Was suppose to be therapy
But as I lay against this soft surface
Staring at the ceiling
All I can see is your face
All I can hear is your voice
The sun shines and I am full of envy
But the periodic rainfall is just a
Reminder that even the sun
Sheds tears

I've started descending and I knew you would
be waiting at the surface prepared to catch me
for you have already fallen
Part of me was ready to sink into your arms
but clarity wasn't present
You were unfamiliar and kind, and for that I ran
Fear has taken a hold
I can feel the hurt evaporating from within
The world has made you cold
and you couldn't stop shivering
But at the same time your touch kept me warm
and I wanted more, so the fire within our
emotions began to ignite
The way you ease my mind through my
insecurities allowed me to close my eyes
Your words carry like the wind traveling
over the ocean waters
But after a while you wanted so badly
to reach for the stars, while I wanted to stay
leveled
You wanted to grow old and I wanted to
remain young
So I fled, like the sun fleeing from the
moon during sunset
Without any explanation I left you in the
dark and I could tell you were overwhelmed
You've drowned in the idea that we both
took part in, while I carried that same idea
on to the next

I lay on the bed,
staring at the vacant side
asking where are you?
I was screaming for your attention,
but you couldn't hear me
Distance didn't play a factor,
I guess you just decided to block my sound.
Rubbing my hand against the curtain
to feel the sun's breath.
The smooth texture of emptiness
embodies of what is inside.
I'm quickly sinking to the lowest level
of the sea you lay your feet in.
The darkness is overwhelming.
I've drown in the love for someone
who has taken flight in the love
for the next.
At the end of the road,
you chose a different route without
having a rear-view mirror.
These four squares that surround me
passes no judgment, for they know my
pain.
Wave on top of wave of disappointment
constantly delivers the anticipation of
capsizing.
I'm yearning to breathe and yet your voice
is the only source of respiration
and you've stopped speaking.

Can you see me?
Because looking at you is like
sitting in the front row
Amongst the crowd, amongst
all of the noise
But as soon as you walk into
the room, everything becomes
dead silent
And I become frozen, with my
eyes locked on your beauty
I tend to imagine us sparking
a conversation over coffee
or maybe over lunch
Nothing too crazy, because
being around you in any setting
would be crazy enough
But in reality I'm never able
to gather the words
For if I could, I would let you
know that you glow in place
of the sun on a cloudy day
That your smile becomes shelter
from the pouring rain
But instead I just sit back patiently
waiting, praying that the universe
will bless today with the opportunity
of learning your name

Beating on my heart to the rhythm of a drum
She's used to city lights, drinks, and having fun
Yearning for happiness and praying that it will come
She's searching, looking in places that are just wrong
Off her beauty and smile, I became drunk
All the while I knew it wouldn't last long
Laid in the shade, I was woken by the sun
Guess I was foolish to think that she's the one
Crying in the dark, but she smiles in the light
And off that liquor, yea she's gone for the night
Heartbreaks and scars, man I guess I lost the fight
Perception/ Deception has taken flight
