Perfectly Flawed

Over and over again, you build me up to ensure I'm on steady ground,
Only to watch me self destruct, and tear my pitiful self back down,
And still you never give up despite the countless times I've turned away,
In fact your determination leaves me speechless with nothing to say.

I stumbled into your arms unexpectedly; even then you didn't let me fall,
Held me in the highest of highest esteems, said I was worth it all.
Patiently brought warmth into my soul, as my frozen heart thawed.
Taught me to believe true love is never perfect; only perfectly flawed.

As it stands: unconditional love you've always been inclined to give,
So darling, please take it and teach me how to love the life I live.
I'm vulnerable and exposed; still must say I've never felt so free,
It just took some extra time, for me to see what we could be.

We. We are. We will always be...

[Perfectly flawed].

I like the theme here and I think the format works well. The longer lines tend to flow better where short ones can get choppy/perky.

I like the way you worded this one.

[Corey Lunare-]

perfection is a creation of the human mind. We are creatures of wan and need. Somehow the need to be "perfect" rises aove them all. Foolish. neways i liked this peice for what it was, an the title fits ti so well.

I like it. Not always real big on rhyme, but this worked and worked well. Yes, everyone is "perfectly flawed". You might like my poem "Perfecshion". Good work and kudos to you.
