For years and years
I have hated and loathed
The word perfect
It has been a disgusting burden
Full of lies
But when he says it
Its beautiful
Reborn
"In my eyes, you are perfect"
This time, I felt it
Perfect
A word full of butterflies instead of lies

I keep trying to refuse these feelings
But everytime I beg them to go away
They find new places to invade
The more I turn from them
The more they grow
The more I pull at them
The deeper they go
Like the roots of an ancient tree
They tangle deep inside my heart
So deep that I can't pull them out

Falling in love is so painful
It leaves me covered in a galaxy of bruises
Just like the ones that fill his eyes and cover his heart

He dresses all my wounds for me
Making me pretty in his arms
He kisses away all my pain
Reviving me in his embrace

Fall in love with a poet; an artist
They'll capture your beauty when you can't

I'm trying so hard not to love him
But listening to all the songs he likes
Is making me fall in love harder and faster

Doubt is a seed for envy
Doubt is a pesticide for love
Doubt is a bullet of jealousy
Doubt will ruin me
