Flawless

Flawless

His faults were easy to overlook
But somehow, mine were not.
Though he faulted me
for finding him flawless,
I accepted that as well.

A failure in his own estimation,
from a marred vision of self-image
and deprecation
He cannot see why I see him as I do.
The irony is that I don’t,
For love had closed my eyes.

He took himself away from me.
Now unfortunately,
my eyes are forced open.

I see more clearly than I did
when anticipating a future
