he looked so brilliantly bright
up on the pedestal I've decorated
with fake flowers and cut-out hearts

i know he could make all the
pain of rejection go away, i know he
could see past my flaws, i know he
can make me happy simply by giving
me a chance to adore him, or can he
really? he was perfect, something i
wasn't used handling, i was used
with the broken and the shattered
and not of something so clean and so
polished

would it really do me good to stay
with a person on such high standards i know i deserve

or is it okay to still stay with you?
