crossroads and high hopes

i am big-city thrills and chills
high expectations and high maintenance
and you are blue-jeans casual
an unbidden laugh in the worst of situations

and where i am polished
you are unkempt
and where i am upset
you are content
and where i am disgusted with the skin i wear
you are telling me nothing

you are not a dream’s apparition
you are not my only hope
and yet you never fail
to bring a smile to my face

and i will not project upon you
my dark-haired prince charmings
or my high-hopes demons
because you deserve more
even if you’re not perfect

another one which my criticism of has been softened by time. maybe it’s not perfect, but it still has its merits.
