How does one go about settling for less 
You tell yourself someone is perfect 
Yet you know you want something better 
Someone who is of a like mind 
With morals and opinions 
Someone who stands up for the truth 
And isn't afraid to take on the world 
Those tiny flaws that make up people 
They can annoy you at times 
And warm your heart at others 
Am I too much of a perfectionist? 
Do I expect too much? 
How could anyone bear my standards? 
Am I asking for too much? 
Should I settle for less? 
I know it seems heartless 
But how can one love someone who simply doesn't suit them? 

Incomplete
By Charles Moffat

An emptiness within 
A yearning without 
I want something but don't know what 
I feel lonely but don't want companionship 
I want food but i'm not hungry 
I feel a need but not a want 
I want to scratch but don't have an itch 
I want to hold someone but have no one to hold
