You fell in love with a sunburned girl
eyes peaking out at you
through burned peeling skin
You loved her anyway
You fell in love in four days
told her she was lovely
beautiful in her agony
You told her she was perfect
You fell in love in ignorance
innocence
to all her shattered scars
You told her she was your everything
You fell in love with her heartbeat
as beat by beat
her secrets came out
You fell for her forever
Until love wasn't enough
until perfect wasn't enough
until everything, wasn't enough
until one week erased her from your heart
until she was nothing.
