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
