Less is More

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I wasn't your dream
And I didn't meet any ideals 
You had about the women you would love
For eternity.
I fell short of everything-
Less is more
And I am much less
Than you ever could hope for.

You say
You'll never do me the injustice
Of comparing my hair
To raven's silk feathers
For ravens die.
My skin is not porceline
You say
For I am warm and unbreakable.
And you dare not say
I am the picture of perfection
Since perfection is only
Unfound mistakes turned into a lie-
Perfection...there is no such thing.
I am flawed and real
Not ideal
Or a perfect externalization of your dreams
I fall short of all those things-
Less is more
And I am much less
Than you ever hoped for.
