Perfect

*•*•*•*•*
you're perfect.
you are cherry blossom lips
and pink seashell cheeks.
eyes made of rippling water
bathed in glittering sunlight.
a soul woven in radiance and positivity.
soft, gentle hands that hold on for dear life
and never let go.

i'm flawed.
i'm selfish,
the needy voice in your head,
begging you to give things
you'll never get in return.
i'm the parasite in your heart,
the decay blackening and withering your soul,
eating away
until there's nothing left.

you're perfect,
and that's why
I had to let you go.
