It was the fatal flaw

all of

humanity possessed,

 

to love

and be loved.

 

My fatal flaw was you,

my love.

 

all i wanted was you.

 

I would’ve

blindly followed you

to the ends of the earth,

come heaven and hell

 

because i loved you.

 

But like gods do,

you could never loved a

mere mortal

like me

without fear of a tragedy.

 

 

you were golden like the sun,

and i the moon,

 

dark and unforgiving.

with a heart that was breaking,

just to feel the warmth of your love.

– you could not have loved a god and expected anything less than a tragedy.
