Golden and perfect.


Mom likes to turn a blind eye to your mistakes,

your flaws, 

your errors. 

Staring deeply into your perfections,

Your excellence and achievements. 


Tall and lengthy,

And your flesh rots with the stained smell of cigarettes 

But your energy,

Is as strong as an addiction.

and your soul,

Is as soft as clouds. 


Although I've always thought,

Your personality has been so cold. 

You're golden to most.


Grabbing onto a lost relationship,

To be just like you.

But you were left in the dark.

For a little too long.


But don't you forget that you'll always be, 

Her beautiful boy.
