Perceived perfection So untouchable Desperation grasping Yet held far out of reach Cherished in heartbreak Preserved beyond embrace Separation prevents Defamation A sacrifice With nothing gained Presumed paltry Defective at distance Horrid by the mile Yet proximity brings tranquility Intimacy that Mends the mirror Seals the cracks Rudimentary becomes Paragon A sacrifice Which gains everything

Poem 17 for National Poetry Month. This may evolve into a series, specifically on the forms love can take. Amusingly inspired by my reflections on a fan fiction I wrote in high school.
