Flawed.
I caressed the cheek of a tear,
Failing to see its effect on me.
I plucked out the flower of my seldom happiness,
Failing to see the roots I had left behind.
Only seeing the absence,
The fruit of satisfaction that I never received.
The dew drops that grace the delicate petals of a morning flower,
I wonder if they are the tears of an angel above,
Or the tears of a person wasting away in a shattered mirror,
Too busy to see the world abided by time,
Soar past her without a thought.
Why couldn't I see the garden I'd left behind and not the trodden earth?
Why couldn't I see the sea's eager white waves and not its beckoning depths?
Why couldn't I see the stars painting the sky and not its fueling fire?
Why couldn't I see the love in your eyes and not my flaws?
I saw the snow white feathers that failed to to fill the hole in my soul,
But failed to see your shredding wings.
Maybe that is why I didn't feel your hands slipping away from mine,
Until the thread that held us together fell thin.
This part of me,
That I failed to see,
Is a part I cant shield myself from,
Its a lie that swallows me up whole,
A riptide, eroding away at my soul,
A lie, I dont think I can let go of.
I should have known that ,
What I looked for in your eyes,
Was not love but my flaws,
I conjured up illusion that you didn't see and blamed you for it,
And you should have known that,
I'm just broken clay piece in the mold of your heart.
