Nothing is made perfect.

No modern day miracle
to remove damaged flaws
or hand out redemption
to those who would otherwise flee
in the face of overwhelming truth.

Truth.

It's burning a hole
through knowledge
through acceptance
through existence.

And I watch
as my soul seeps out
escaping into the in-between.

Where now the strength?

You decided long ago
it could never last
destined to wear then fade
unable to outwit the inevitable.

I could never last.

Because nothing is made perfect.

You speak volumes here, my friend.  I can personally relate to the disappointment of not being able to measure up to the "perfect" standards some would hold us to... and the pain of watching them leave, believing they may be attained elsewhere.

Well done.
