I was once a box
I know it may sound strange to read that I was once a box
Not Metal, wood but cardboard
No handle, hinge or lock
Just items thrown into the box
Tinged with hate and tears
How fickle our relationship
That with one box its cleared
That little box of torment
Sent daggers to my heart
Why must we continue hurting
Even when we're apart
That cardboard box of memories
That paper box of pain
Stamps a boot print when you're down
Then kick you with the blame
The box caught all my tears
That fell like heavy rain
For i haven't always been a box
Or a monster, that you claim.
I was once a lover
That Never trusted love
Never wanted anything
any more than we discussed
But like this box I have a heart
Have emotion, and a will
That I will never be a box again
Until my heart falls still
