Poems

Perfection

I've never met anyone like you,

Nobody was ever so true...

Although I know it's hopeless,

I'm still helpless...

For you.

Because you're perfection,

In ev'ry way.

You're perfection,

Ev'ry day.

Why do you do this to me?

Running laps around my brain,

Thoughts which I cannot tame.

Why?

Because you're perfection,

In ev'ry way,

Pure perfection,

Ev'ry day.

You make me a mess,

Wondering if i'll be enough.

Maybe it's the way I dress,

Or maybe I'm too tough?

Because I'm not perfection,

Not on most days,

I feel like a defection,

In more than a few ways,

It could be the glasses or the braces,

Or maybe the hair,

Because I lose all the races,

Or maybe you just don't care...

I know you find perfection,

In somebody else...

Some girl with attention,

For whom your heart melts...

Someone who isn't me,

But as pretty as they be.

Some lucky soul who steals your gaze,

With beauty that sets hearts ablaze.

Boy, are they lucky,

Because they found you...

You're perfection, it's true.
