Pandora opened the box, no different than my own,

The box of every evil ever done, every regret, every misstep.

A wild heart that grew too slow, kept back by heartbreak,

Betrayal of faith too young.

Lysistrata fighting for peace by claiming celibacy,

In a strategy that would never work.

As banding together was never as easy as saying a word.

The strangeness of being unwritten,

The strangeness of a path untaken,

Love,

Is it something that cannot?

Never has nothing been for frightening,

Than the silence that follows tomorrow.
