he thought she was perfect
because she held no wounds
and he did
      but she saw him
      as he fell
      and she knew that
      torn flesh has purpose
       and oh-
he was the angel
cast out of the clouds
that made him
       and even if he no longer
       saw himself as whole
       she would teach him
       that scars were not imperfections
       but proof-
that even after pain
even after agony
life was worth living
