After Perfect

by Painted on Smile   May 2, 2008


How can this be
why does this happen
always seem to happen to me
my life goes in circles
one loop then the next
always ending back where i started
i'm stupid and scared
and live life with so many regrets
i have had so many thing
that were so perfect its true
but i gave them up
just like i did you
i don't know why i did it
i don't know why i cant seem to see
please don't think it is you
because it is completely me
whenever things are amazing
i get scared and then i flee
because i don't know
what after perfect will be
i'm scared of the unknown
and yet some mystery i crave
like the one you felt for me
but i gave you up
and now my heart will never be safe

    So much self loathing in your poetry.It's a shame for someone as talented as you to feel such a way. "It can't rain all the time."
