CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART

she is perfect

she wasn't flawed

I thought she was perfect

i used to touch her scorching skin

until my fingers felt like lava

i'd dig through her layers

until there was nothing but ice

ice so cold it made you warm inside

and i failed to see that she was indeed flawed

she had wings

and she flew away

i recall the way she'd disappeared

out of the blue

and the thing is

I hadn't questioned it

because I knew her

and I knew her favourite word was goodbye

and goodbye was also the way she said hello
