So This is Life

Out of the Box

Defeated

—/—/—/—/—/—/—/—

That box in the corner,

Oh, don't you recall?

Or have all the years,

Made the memory small?

Time is a blessing,

A curse in disguise;

Too easy to waste,

To fall far behind.

The mysteries contained,

Within those cardboard doors;

Are not what's hidden,

But how long they'll last for.

How long can they bloom?

Flowers with no sun;

Petals with no breeze,

Beauty comes undone.

When will I forget?

When will you destroy?

And who will be first?

To torch all the joy.

The blossoms of dreams,

Life tied with a bow;

My dreams and my life,

Far too well you know.

But pathetic it is,

You don't try to resist;

No, you like to gloat in,

Just how much I've missed.

Like a dog on a leash,

Always one step away;

That's where you hold me,

With the world at arm's length.

Cause as my hopes dim,

Your black heart still fumes;

And you seal tight that box,

So your reign may resume.

I search for the key,

Amidst cracks of my mind;

Never the right one,

In the thousands I find.

And so the box sits,

Restless, undisturbed;

Yet I relive the pain,

Like a wing-clipped bird.

It's gathering dust,

As my broken voice sings;

To your amusement,

Like a captive plaything.

All my desires,

Were long overpassed;

In the journey of time,

There's no going back.

Remember my wish?

To sign on those stars;

Now, thanks to you,

All I've left is a scar.

A murderer you are.
