Never set
boundaries or
build fences
unlock your 
gates and 
throw open 
your door 
for those 
things don’t 
protect you 
but rather 
prevent you 
we are
meant to 
be hurt
that’s human 

To wish
for someone 
to be 
all that
is foolhardy 
instead of
searching for 
another be
yourself that 
very person 
you won’t 
need another 
to disappoint 

It simmers 
then boils 
if left
it might 
but likely 
it burns 
itself into 
little nothing 
yet wrecks 
the pot
holding it 
making useless 
this thing 

It’s as
though a
deeply buried 
string has 
been plucked 
though silent 
it sings
upwards and 
then down 
falling there
onto lap
without so
much as
a whisper
