Your teeth weren't straight each word you calmly smiled, was uttered from your lips with flawless imperfection There was something charming about it, knowing you had obvious flaws. Maybe it made me feel a sense of superiority? You were more than thin, you were skeletal but it was what you liked, you were proud of it how you never ate, smoked 20 a day and trotted through life Happy with mediocrity Tattoos sporadically covered your body, the one on your arm we got together was dirt cheap and poorly done but it suited you Not because you were cheap but because you weren't perfect you were rugged, it was clear from face value that you you could hold your own We spent most our time in a drug filled daze of laughter and passion Your hair was long and corse considering your diet it was in surprisingly good condition You had a strong accent pronouncing 'Mum' as 'Mam' It used to irritate me daily but now it is something I miss Having a house to ourselves yet sharing a single bed We were truly inseparable Now we are lifetimes apart A years gone by now A year without you hasn't been worth the paper I've written this on
