Idols

I do to people 
What Leo's do to lovers I idolize them
Hatch massive gods from their foreheads-
to cast shadows over their demons 

I impede on their freedom to fail
To change, To be human 
I lock them up
In a castle on a pedestal far, far, far away 
From who they really are

I'm drawn to flaws
A broken jaw, crooked teeth, scabs on the knees
Call to me, Grab at me 
With their marshmallow mouths
Gentle sensations tugging on my sleeve
Pulling me to flaws
So that I may give them new names
I call them pretty, intriguing, love
People are flawed at the core 
But not as passive
For I give them new names
​That they don't answer to

I've grown to understand 
gods name themselves
