Unorganized Chaos

The Imperfect Perfection

I just wrote this. I got distracted from posting the first one, and started writing this. This is actually a serious one, though that doesn't mean it's any good. Tell me what you think ;)

The Imperfect Perfection

Step one

You fall in love

What more can you ask?

Nothing can go wrong

Because everything is perfect.

Step two

You fight.

It's your first,

And you hope it's the worst.

But right now, who knows?

Step three

You make up.

It was inevitable, that fight

And so you expected it.

And so, again, everything is perfect.

Step four

You parade each other around

Like you're each some sort of prize.

And in a way, you are.

But in the end, what is it worth?

Step five

What's happening?

You've grown comfortable; too comfortable

He's different now, now that you're comfortable.

He hit you once, but he didn't mean it. You fight.

Step six

He apologizes; you accept.

After all, everything is perfect

One hit? Who cares?

He didn't mean it, you love each other.

Step seven

He didn't mean it, you swear

It was just one time, just one more time.

He apologized again, and bought you a ring.

He asked you to marry him, because he knows you're perfect.

Step eight

You wed. Husband and wife, till death do you part

But what does that mean?

You're in love, and even death cannot part that

And so you forgive his hand, just one more time.

Step nine

A baby. A baby is to be born.

And just how perfect is that? Perfectly perfect

He hits you again, but promises it's the last

Just one more, he says. But of course he's right

Step ten

The baby dies. But it was an accident, you know.

He hit you once more, but it was only once

Your love is too perfect for him to have done it purposely

After all, what is love without mistakes?

Step eleven

He hits you again. But you deserved it.

You don't need to be told "Only once more"

You were not perfect enough for the baby, and so it's your fault

You see that, and he does too. Which is why you're perfect

Step twelve

You can't have another baby, you are told

And so he hits you again. But again, you deserve it

You try to please him, but you can't

Whose fault is that? Not his, oh no

Step thirteen

He hits, you bleed. It's worse than before

What's happening? What's going on?

Everything is turning black, but from what?

It was only once more, just once more.

Step fourteen

You awake. Everything is white

Where are you? Where is he?

Someone speaks, but it is not him, and so you do not listen

You call for him. Before he comes, the white is replaced with black

Step fifteen

Someone calls for you, but it is not him

They tell you that he is in jail, you weep

Why would he leave you? Why would he leave a love so perfect?

You blame yourself for not being perfect enough, just once more. Black

Step sixteen

They tell you that he is gone, and that that is good

You don't believe them, for it is not them you love

You tell them this, but still they persist

Why don't they listen? Why can't they see?

Step seventeen

You begin to listen. You begin to see their truth

You realize they are right, and that he was wrong

You understand what happened, and that it was not perfect

Nothing was perfect, and that was not love

Step Eighteen

He was bad, and you are not. You are good

You move on, though it is not easy

He broke your heart, tore it apart

But it's not the end of perfect

Step nineteen

You meet someone. He is different than Him

He does not hit you, and that is good

But still, you are cautious. And that is okay

They tell you you're doing good, but it's not quite perfect

Step twenty

You realize it may never be perfect

You realize that you don't care

You understand that not everything must be perfect

But being happy is all that counts.
