Poetry

Personal Perfection

When I close my eyes I see your face

And wish to feel your warm embrace

I run my fingers through my hair

And wish instead that you were there

I wake up craving the touch of your skin

The warmth of your breath

You pull me right in

Everything about you is extraordinary

And how you surprise me with the weight that you carry

The weight of the world you try to rest on your shoulder

And when you've had enough you still balance that boulder

I wish that you knew that it isn't required

That you give up yourself to lift everyone higher

To think of yourself every once and awhile

And do something for you to make yourself smile

Does not make you selfish

Does not make you cruel

There is no such reason to stand by that rule

You may not be perfect in all eyes that see

But there's no other being more perfect for me.
