Perfect

We were the perfect pair
In love, blissfully unaware
Both high and insecure
Happy, but completely unsure

I began to push you away
I wanted normal, to be ok
I lost what I used to feel
In your ceaseless shallow spiel

I tried to explain my cold shoulder
Tried to remove this daunting boulder
But the more I said the less the words meant
The farther we grew, the less time I spent

I’ve been shouting at you so long I’ve lost my voice
There’s nothing to be done, you made your choice.

We started out perfect
Now we’re perfectly wrecked
