Perfection

He has a place inside me, and it
belongs to him only. No one else
can take it. The seal is locked.
Not a single person can break through.

There's a void in me only he can
satisfy. He's not a lover. He's
not a friend. But he lies in between.
Neither one of us are sure what he should
be called, so I call him Perfection.

The name seems fitting, but I'm afraid it's
not enough to describe the depth of what he is.
There's nothing more I can say, only that if I
wake up one morning and find myself aching for his
love, I'll know Perfection has gone to rest with
the lost souls who lay still for eternity and
the damp earth will haunt me with his memory.

( I miss him. I don't think he knows how much.
I need him in ways he can't imagine. I love him
more than myself and it frightens me.)

I'm overjoyed.
It can mean only one thing.
Perfection lives on.
I wish I can feel the
damp earth before he does.
What hell it would be to live
without him. I'd rather sleep
with the lost souls and wait,
as I haunt him with memories
of myself-calling his name
to join me.

I love Perfection to death.
I can only hope Perfection
loves me the same. I fear he
may only love me a little,
maybe more, but not enough.
He tells me he does, but it falls
on deaf ears. I realize now I'll
never be satisfied with his words.
I'll always think in the back of my
mind "I love him more than he loves me"
no matter what he says.

I suppose it's his only flaw and
for that, I'll call him IMPERFECTION.
