Chasing Perfection
January 8, 2014
she craved an embrace
a hand to with interlace
then she saw his smile
his undeniable fire
shards of ice and flames in ire
they've been set afire
she had a lonely heart
he was in love from the start
they were fighting this
this perfect storm
fighting their feelings
their young minds reeling
lost in their senses
her eyes locked on his
is this real
can we live happily, surreal?
she was running around chasing perfection
but with his affection
she found she needed none
trickery and misery begone, I am done.
