Box Full of Words
Cardboard cover
Signed with a sharpie
Box full of words
Nobody ever heard
Only in my head
The love
The loss
The memories
Lust for life
Captured there
In moments of clarity
My song
My story
Prayerfully crafted
Soulful melody
It comes around
So infrequently
I wonder why
I can't see it
Only when I need it
Sits in a corner
Like that lonely child
I used to be
Innocent then
Innocence lost since
In a box full of words
My song
My story
Crafted recklessly
Soulful melody
It comes around
So infrequently
I wonder why
I can't see it
Only when I need it
Like a lonely child
Caught in a corner
Lost in a memory
Box full of words
To keep me company.
