Boxes

Boxes 

Of relationship 

I put him in the red box 

She put me in the blue one 

This represents the limits 

Of our love 

Placed inside 

Contained 

A life within a life 

Compartmentalized

There is no way 

To expand or grow 

Outside of this 

And when the box grows 

Outdated 

It's put away 

Or made smaller to make space 

For other newer, more extensive 

Boxes 

My love put me in a box 

To keep me safe 

From taking up too much space 

Because that is the nature 

And limitations

Of time 

And life 

It cannot change 

So here I am 

Waiting 

For love to grow 

For relationship 

To exist 

The next time you can join me 

In my box
