you were perfect

you were like a crackling fire in the winter

playful

filled with life

and warming others whenever they needed it the most

i am like an icy wind

numbing

seeping through the smallest cracks

chilling to the bone at the worst possible moment

you were like freshly steeped green tea

refreshing

causing a smile that lights up the eyes

perfect no matter the situation

i am like a cheap vodka in a plastic bottle

bitter

causing a grimace that makes a face ugly

good for one time just to never be touched after

you were like a heated blanket

soft and relaxing

giving a warm embrace to everyone you touched

i am like an old coarse towel

washed up and rough

no longer fulfilling my purpose

you were perfect

or as perfect as my eyes could see you

and so i blame myself every day

for leaving my dirty mark on you

and ruining something so holy
