Useless Perfection

i laugh

as i watch

you

fall gracelessly

from the

pedastal i

naively placed

you upon

at first

i think you

flawless

no imprefections

mark you or

disfigure you

but turns

out you are full

them

i think though

i placed you up there

as a distraction

while i tell you

all the things

you want to hear

i cross my

fingers and

hope to hide

all the flaws

that ive been

trying to hide

so jokes on you

my inadequete

vision

of useless

perfection
