Lovely Boy

The lovely boy you once were
Stares back at me faintly
Almost like a whisper
Of yesterday…
You’ve shaved off your golden curls
Cutting into so many years
Of relatively happy childhood
Or at least that’s how
It always seemed to me…
So young and free
And eager to live,
And then there was
Me
I realize I might have been
The one to push you
The mark you could never reach
Sweet child,
No one is as perfect as he seems
But how you punished yourself
In failing to become me,
Escaping in so many ways
That slowly killed you
And kill you
That slowly eat you away…
And meanwhile
I have become a thing so distant
So dead and cold
Alone in my perfection—
This prison you carved out for me—
This place where you would have me stay
Till my dying days
Watching behind bars as you slip away
Forever out of reach…
Buru.
PS. for anyone with "perfection" issues....
