My eyes are heavy with unshed disappointment
My mind a maze of every possible entrance and exit
Because the way you shine made me think you could be a star
Cold, untouchable, brilliant
But you’re just a human
My skin is hot with mirrored shame
My tongue thick with unanswerable questions
Because the way you speak made me think you knew the Truth
Steadfast, honest, consummate
But you’re just a human
My throat is crowded with many captured sighs
My breath slim under the weight of my shoulders
Because the way you stand made me think you were upright
Staid, elegant, United
But you’re just a human
My Ideal is diminished from this fractured faith
My vision, spattered with the dirt of your reality
Because the way I believed made me think you were more
Everything, something, anything
But just a human
