Alonement

I am alone

For right now.

And I do suppose

That is the way I like things to be.

 

Alone for a moment

Everything alone has beauty.

Yet put together,

Perfection begins.

 

Though people then begin to ask

That age old question.

Perfection is what,

For in what you see perfection I see destruction.

 

For in what you see beauty

I see nothing of the sort.
