Relationships Are Like Knots Poem by EU STRESS

Relationships are like knots.

They must remain loose,
Though intricate;
To allow smooth ventilation
Through forthright communication.

For if they get too tense,
They become unnecessarily complex
And arduous to resolve.

Knots must be disentangled
At the very first loop;
For one knot leads to another,
Forming a labyrinth;
As one misunderstanding leads to another,
Forming an abscess.

If avoided or neglected,
They coil up like boa constrictors,
Eventually assuming stifling dimensions
Irremediable,
Beyond all chances of reconciliation.
