for boys who fell in love with
a beautiful, wild thing
that they are too ill equipped
and must cage to ‘handle’.
You do not make yourself less
when you are a comet filled with such power and intensity,
that you are
waiting to blaze
across this universe.
You are unexplored, unusual
and frighteningly beautiful.
And only a few will understand
the way to love you
without breaking you
and making you dangerous.”
