And a long trail of gifts
Run into my secret cabinet
From people
That no longer linger into my life
I try not to unfold them
Because often
It is the process of ripping a bandage
That hurts
So don't question me
When I don't open my heart that often anymore
Because that secret cabinet
Is sometimes meant to be closed
Let the wounds heal for I while
And I'll myself rip that bandage off and open the cabinets free
But all I need right now
Is some time by my own

- memories are often the gifts
they can be good or bad thus,
we often need time to accept and heal
