Do you ever think that you would
End up alone, not because of a
Lack of love but only because you cannot love so much.
You cannot love equally.  You cannot
Commit to one and foster
Another.
Tensions hurt, slips scratch the skin.
We snap like the animal membrane
Stretched thin over a drum.
Attempt to commit to everything.
Attempt to rope your boat to all
The mooring points of the harbour.
Ropes are not long enough, some
Are too tight.
The wind moves, the seas roughens.
You are pulled to pieces by
The connections you tied.
Not safe in open seas.
Not safe harboured
In connection to everything.
