A lot of Freud, Some Shakespeare, No Plato

Relationships at times can start off at a very f*cked 
up place, where nobody has any indication 
as to where anything is going. As children 
things don’t matter, your friends can be either 
or sex or any gender.  With each and every 
internal metallic cog in the clock things 
slowly start to transform. 

Thoughts of friendship with the opposite sex 
absent of a little subterfuge was never possible. 
However, as we age as human beings, 
comprehension seeps in, both sexes 
can indeed have a mutual bond 
absent of romantic love. 

It was once explained 
to me by my grumpy professor 
(I’m sorry, to you reading this poem 
right now, just give me a quick 
moment as — I’m cackling) 

my professor would say 
since none of us are engaged 
in a romantic relationship 
there is no need for lies. 

That honestly makes me laugh 
so ridiculously hard. 

That’s a whole other ball of wax 
and it introduces why would lovers 
lie to each other? 

Why is it that with only some 
vulnerability and importance 
offers a correlation in relation 
to affection?

Why do the sceptics think
to love or not willing to leap? 

So many pathways brought 
on by the simple thought 
of friendship.
