Not Perfect

 Im sorry I am not perfect

I wish I was

I am sorry I am not enough

Words leave my mouth

Before I can stop them 

I wish things were different

You’d just take me as I am

Yet I feel like I am tossed aside

Once again by someone I loved

I know that’s not your meaning

Somehow i feel it’s true

My words I shared

Did put this wedge

That was never meant to be there

God I wish I was perfect

If I was maybe you’d take me

Tell me I am yours

Yet I feel your hands on my chest

Pushing me away

Telling me to go

Stop living in a fairytale 

Maybe I am doing just that

Living in a fantasy

Where I thought

I was perfect

At least for you

Now

I feel like I lost

This battle I wish I’d won
