Purpose

Save her grace
purpose in this life
but i make a horrible sickly martyr
and she makes a better one, pretty hair

maybe convince myself
maybe make it a reality
that's how optimisim works
and i'm too busy being in love
not mining it for poetry
the real thing is better than anything
written about it
