Took him months to crack the safe,
a safe that stored a locked case.

Took him months to picklock the case,
a case that held the inside key.

Only to open a vault full of locked boxes,
boxes of stories of her past.

She loves and hates him.
Because she hates the fact
that she loves him

Hanging out with someone
you can never have.
Is like reaching for a hologram
you can only see.

I need to be held today
To have that warm embrace
Someone to say that  "It's okay"
Then kiss me on the face
To cuddle the stress away
And let sorrows erase.

You can try to hide your emotions
Put on a mask that has a painted smile
But the eyes never lie
And a mask has holes to see
