Imperfect

November 11, 2009
By Anonymous

I'm imperfect
My middle name
And it's a fact
That love's a game
I cannot win
Without your smile
Each silly grin
Says I'm worthwhile
I can't believe
That you won't leave
And what I offer
You'll receive
With open arms
And open heart
I'll give my all
Until we part
Of course for now
We'll live each day
Best we know how
To that I say
Carpe diem
Seize the day
The time we've got
Appreciate
Maybe then
When our eyes meet
And yours are smiling
Back at me
When on your love
I reflect
I can accept
I'm imperfect

A poem my ex will never read. Heh. I wrote it two weeks before we broke up.
