Because I am hollow, I make you hallowed, give you halo

Beautiful and good, all of the time, one of a kind

A clear favorite of God

It is so hard for me

To believe there's anything else you could be

But you deserve better than a pedestal that no one can stand on without falling off

I need to set you down, before you let me down

I need to pick myself up off the ground on which you've walked

I need to be careful, holding you to such a standard, thinking of you in such a way

I need to stop calling you perfect

I'll only hurt us both one of these days

But prithee, tell why, then, does your name alone befit the blessed, the beloved, the beautiful

Upon whom bounty has been bestowed?
