What do you do when someone's limbs are lanky

And their walk is janky

Their laugh is contagious

And their hair is outrageous

What do you do when someone you love

The embodiment of perfect

Reincarnation of a dove

Falls at your feet in a broken heap

And they ask you to break them down more than they are

And you’ll accept their hurtful pleas

Because for you, they’d become nothing

So you can have their everything

Their everything that, you don't realize until it's too late

Is tearing you apart from the very inside of your heart

Picking away its stitching with your own delicate fingers

Gnawing at its structure till it weakens to mush

Who are you gonna choose to destroy yourself in front of now?
