MORE THAN A BOX

At first

I'm just a box

waiting

outside your door.

Bring me in

open me

inspect me.

If I'm cracked

but useable

keep me

or trash me.

No refunds.

But

if you keep me

I may surprise you.

My imperfections

give me strength

and guidance.

I do not repeat errors

I learn from them.

Touch me

caress me

I respond in kind.

I can offer: love

without expectations

without strings

without judgment.

But

justopentheboxandtakealook

damn it!
