Irrational Risk and Reward


Connections are risks 

Sometimes the wrong ones make blood boil and hiss 

They can make you feel like you were just one off the list 

Even push you to the point of a knife in your wrist 

However with care and trust

 

Connections aren't just the lust and disgust 

Pain is erased and love is formed 

A new reason to wake up is born 

The past teared and torn 

Finally replaced with something warm 

 

Connections are to be treasured and maintained 

They aren't supposed to make you feel shackled and chained 

The feeling of real love one word can't explain 

The drug of a companion strong as cocaine 

Any sense of rationality gone insane
