Thoughts While You're Away

Some thoughts I had about my current relationship while we were apart.

To say we are perfect

Would be to say I am a fool.

But still,

I wish I could be perfect for you.

I want to be perfectly imperfect,

Unbridled,

Exactly what you wish for

Before you fall asleep.

I want to be weak,

I want to be yours,

But I can’t afford anything

But an artificial weakness.

A weakness engineered by drugs

Or by pressure and manipulation.

I’m know you need me to be myself,

You want me to be who I am.

But something in the back of my mind

Whispers in my ear,

“You aren’t meant to be known.”

And I fear it may be right.

Author's Note

Is my word choice too extravagant? I feel like I tried too hard and it ended up being too flowery. Do you feel the same?
