Pedestals are overrated

This was a corny poem that I wrote in a train while bored

“Don’t put your loved ones on a pedestal
Cause it will put a huge burden on them
And sets unrealistic expectation”

That’s what they all say
And truly a pedestal is not
where she is right now
In my eyes

She is a part of my world
And I’m a part of my world

How can I restrict her to a pedestal

When her laughter
Echoes in my ears
Just as the birds chirp in a gale

When every where i lay my eyes on her
Calms my heart
And steadies my soul

And when she speaks
My mind and body
Hums with her thoughts

What purpose does a pedestal serve
When her scent is in the air i breathe
her warmth is in the gentle breeze i feel
her love is in every speck of color I see
Wherever I go
