I don't want relationships
based on bonds or strings
or things that make me
               tied
                        down
let
        me
                 drown
                                 in
my
            own
                         imaginings.

I don't want friendships
based on falseness or lies
or spies that make me
                  hate
                             love
let
         me
                    suffer
                                   ­ in
my
              own
                              ties.

I don't want a kinship
based on trust and hopes
or jokes that make me
                   smile
                                cry
have
            me
                       hang
                                       on
my
                   own
                                    ropes.
