when all you have in life is yourself, the best thing to do is know who you are.... standing here, I tend to wonder things...

the sense of perfection

I can’t stand that when I see you, all of me is drowned in your perfect stance.

I can’t stand that when I slowly place my tiny fractures back together, you appear and I cry.

I can’t stand that our minds are so far apart and your thoughts stay with you.

I hate that you can’t know
I hate that I can’t know
I hate that your body is so powerful
I hate that your words are so dominant
And your voice echoes in my hair

I can not cope with the thought of you standing
So far away from us
Or what was

What was once cloud-covered terrain
Is now
just grass.

But you stand with your perfect body
And your
Intrepid face
Filled with nothing
But my
Eyes.
And you stand
And I cry
I cried.
