I’m realizing You weren’t spotless And I didn’t see it You were covered in filth Just like me Everything’s coming into focus You were just ordinary And I’m seeing the truth And I was right The truth is choking me But I have to chew and swallow Until I’ve digested what you did to me

4 - Tainted Perfection
I’m realizing You weren’t spotless And I didn’t see it You were covered in filth Just like me Everything’s coming into focus You were just ordinary And I’m seeing the truth And I was right The truth is choking me But I have to chew and swallow Until I’ve digested what you did to me
This is the 4th poem in my ‘Forgiveness’ series.
