Your eyes are so soft and warm,
but so hard and cold at the same time,
like the cold snow kissing a boiling volcano.
Your lips are so kissable,
but so rough at the same time,
like ghosting your lips over a tree trunk.
Your hair is as smooth as silk,
but also as spiky as thorns,
like water collising with a rocky cliff.
Your mouth is such beauty,
but says such harsh and hurtful words,
like a beautiful violin playing broken notes.
Your skin is as soft as satin,
but as hard as marble,
like a thin cushion protecting a hard wall.
Your hands protect me,
but harm me at the same time,
like a sunny and rainy day.
You are my definition of perfection,
but also my definition of imperfection,
like the right in every wrong.
I tell you you don't know how to love,
and you tell me I don't know how to,
you were wrong.
I may have never received any love,
but I sure know how to give it,
in contrary to you.
