But we must realize that the fault in life
Is the actuality that we do not notice
Our distorted perception of perfection.

sorry

Sorry does not make it okay.
And although you think those petty little
Two syllables
Will make up a friendship full of
Pleading
Begging
And helplessness,
It will never be okay.

things that hurt

1) watching you love her.
2) everything else.

heavy

Her heart is heavy –
Too full of tears
And nights of loneliness.

It cries out for love;
She is tired
Of giving it away
Over, over, and over
Again.

But now there is none left,
No feeling; no love.

It’s left a waterfall that dries
Into a desert.

one day

i long for a day where i wake up in the morning
satisfied with the reflection i see.

an i hope on that day
i will be everything you desire.

enough

(i) want to ask about how she hurt you
the summer that you (changed)
(but) i am afraid that the truth
will make you realize
how many flaws (i) hold
because she had so little.

and i am afraid that my imperfections
were your favorite things about her.

i'm scared you (won't) smile like you did
with her in arms.

because she is the kind of perfect
i could never (be).

i am afraid that i am not (good)
at making you happy.

mostly i am afraid that i won't be
(enough).
