You.

You seemed safe and so I fell into the facade of safety, disguised in your arms.
Ill intentions hidden within the creases and scars.
You seemed more human the rest. attached at the roots, you brought the sun to its knees.
You seemed like pure perfection, every hope and desire I had poured into human form.
I learnt to love myself loving you.
