Boundaries

Tell me more about love
I am in awe of this word
Like a child dreams
Of Kings and Dragons
I've lived my life
In innocent anticipation
To this day I am unfulfilled
But let us not walk
Through barbed wire and grassy knolls
I am here but disconnected

'Disconnection' was always
Such a biting, bitter word
But now I choose it happily
As a means of self-preservation
Wanting breeds suffering
But I will drink the tea you offer
Open, not as a wound
But as a door that is unlocked
