Imperfect

Like a plastic rose with no smell
Like the second-hand car you’d been dying to get
Like the exam in which you couldn’t cheat
Like the broken heart you left in me…
Imperfect….

Like a glass with no reflexion
Like the spots ruining a teen complexion
Like the onion that didn’t make you cry
Like the laces a child didn’t tie
Like the sadness you brought to my life…
Imperfect….

Like the novels without happy endings
Like the poem with no feelings
Like the muse which abandoned its painter
Like the two faces of a faker
Like the song without rhyme
Like the shivers after your goodbye…
Imperfect…

Like the lines I'm writing tonight
Like the dark street with a light
Like the fire that didn’t burn
Like the beach without sand
Like the drawing in black and white
Like angry-looking clouds in a blue sky
Like the makeup with which I will survive
Imperfect….

That’s what your lies made of me, my days, my voice
That’s what a true I love you could have avoided
That’s how a perfect love story ended
And that’s the way my smile turned imperfect.
