A wrong word

For an instant
I held the wings of platonic love
In my open hands
Its beauty caressed my eyes
The softness running through my skin
In a rush
To make it stay
I uttered a hard word
And it flew from my closing hands
Live the life you dream

So I can say this is the way I use to be" -- John Mayer

    there have been many songs and poems written about romantic love and the like, however, not many have been written about platonic love.. i like the change because it is so true.. good poem :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
