What if I told you I'm not perfect?

You say I am,

But you fail to observe.

For my life is a stream of lies

With short intermissions of truth.

For one does not know what I do at night,

Nor my fradulence of the day.

For one fails to look

Beyond the one good thing

Of that one day

When you first saw thee

Out on the green.
