Perfection Is Defection
Slowly
what I am
gave a new
shape to
forever (in chains)
Last time I
gave away
what I
never before became
but until now
this is all that ever was but
I was better than
and everything
was as the future was
back then when
it was different now
but beyond that
I am now and here
lost in myself
Now is not
the time
for what “was known as
perfect” I give
what I thought was
forever
my last chance
into infinity
we fell and
are falling
forever in
and now
We never became
anything more
than a passing
wind on
the ocean
This is a last resort
for what
I never will be
but forever could
have been
Don’t die on me
for you (whoever)
never did now
who I was inside
outside is
black as a
“What was known as perfect”
you
are the last
give me
a lifeline
