Rules of Engagement

By Mindless fairy

Look, smile, breathe, touch, live, love
Watch them closely
Who
Is
This
Person?
Smile
Is it the same person you saw before?

Breathe as you speak
Slowly,
Softly
OR
Fast,
Hard
Touch them
Why?
Where?
How?
Slightly lied to
Sugar-coated to keep safe
Distribution easy
And warm
Do you understand yet?

Live along, repeat when necessary
Love
No one
But
Yourself
But treat them as you do
Want them
Have them
Keep them...
Lose them...
LIVE
