far from beautiful.

we could be beautiful, but you said looks don't matter.
that everything was perfect.
but didn't anyone tell you that perfection is flawed?

we could be a contradiction, on and off.
we could go up or down, but never down and out.
you didn't like change.

we could be broken, bruised from too many fights.
there were never any apologies.
only bloody memories of you and i.

we could be impulse.
that's what love is, right?
there's no logic in this.
no logic in us.
if love was logical, who would bother?

we could be love.
we could be beautiful, full of contradictions
and broken impulses.

we could be love.
we could be beautiful.
we could be perfect.
but we aren't.

whoever said looks don't matter, lied.
and baby, we're far from beautiful.
