There was a time when

I thought you were

something impossible

I saw you shine

you were an idol I wanted closer

an inspiration

star I wanted to but

couldn't reach

Later was a time when

you were absolutely

perfect

flawed yet flawless

a gem

rarest of them all

and somehow

I could meet you

reach you

touch you

(through a plastic wrapping)

(so not really.)

Then I slowly found them

the chips and scratches

I tried to ignore

treasure

I wanted to

fill them

make you complete again

you were perfect

you would always be perfect

I thought perfection

never ended

But now I've found

the greateset crack that

can't be hidden

a crevice

a canyon I've fallen into

can't be excused

Sometimes I imagine

your shine creating

illusions

as if it were never

there

So please

tell me

it's not true

it's all a lie

it never happened

if I touch the crack it'll be

smooth

(right?)
