Perfection

perfection
i never dared to dream of her
from the start how i wanted her
the first smile had me craving her
now i'd give anything to forget her

she was more than i'd known how to wish
an image i'd never be able to paint
an angel that i'd sin to kiss

she was a heart of the purest gold
broken, still wishing
she was every wish i'd ever told

in her sadness she was beautiful
i gave of myself entirely
and in her happiness, she was wonderful

but in her heart she betrayed me
the full of her hollowness was known
with eyes i hoped to love she slayed me

fully my fault, for she was honest
distracted by hope
i saw her worst and wished the best

tried to take her higher and offer more
my mistake to think i fell for a princess
when all she could be was a whore.
