Settled for less
We were told
That perfection doesn't exist
That perfection was a concept
That was not human
I guess I just met someone
Who was far from human
So close to divinity
Yet , the epitome of humanity
She wasn't perfect
She was flawed
But that's what made her human
And that's what made her divine
The simplest of thing
A smile
A human concept
But she breathed a divine life into it
Like the melody of a million chirps
Her voice was so irritating
But had me yearning to hear it
She brought order in my chaos
But divinity
And humanity
Could never co exist
It just wasnt the way it was
She ,divine in her own self
Me , a human who tried to attain perfection
But failed , because how can you perfect
Something that is already perfect
Yet I struggled
To hold two unstable Elements together
Tried to merge black and white on a pallet
And expected a rainbow in return
I guess some things just couldn't be
The sky yearned for the earth
But couldn't embrace it
Love forbidden , brought the maximum pain
So we parted
Like a fission , creating so much friction
So much tension
When all we wanted was fun
Then she told me
What she thought was true
Something that haunted me , made me restless
That when she chose me , she settled for less
But what can I do
Like a man who found divinity
Couldn't bear to push away
What was my life's highlighting point
So I settled for the next best thing
I chose to Love from afar
Like the earth and sky
The forbidden love brought much pain
I opted to talk to her
Everyday pretending to be OK
Trying to hide the love that I spent years trying to show her
I guess
In the end
We both settled for something less..
