I hide my feelings in a box
However
What if it got out?
If it came into reach
where I could touch it anytime
I would damage it
If that's the case I'd rather..

I'd rather put my hands away

Don't cry my darling
My small little child
You're not the only one
There is probably another
child like you who is
upset because they feel
nobody sees them.

Become the person
who recognizes that
other child.

Before I fell in love
        with words
        the sun lit sky
       the singing birds
        The frozen water
        that quenched my thirst
          
         It was you who I fell
          in love with first

Once upon a time
I told you all I felt inside
The little sacred bits
That from the world I'd hide

You used them as your weapons
And only then I'd learn
The less I'd come to tell you
The lesser I would hurt

There are things I'll never tell you
Such is sad to say so
The more you come to know me
The lesser you will know

So lets take our time to come to
And realize our judgments pending
And just maybe when it's over
we'll have our Happy Ending

What if everything had a roundabout exit
Another choice yet to make
The easy way out
Like a dense forest with a shortcut
Would you take it?

I've wrote and wrote
for days on end
I wonder why your heart won't bend

Are these words
your heart does not know
maybe it's just that
your blood doesn't flow

So it may be
That your heart,
just wasn't for me

Than again I also knew
My precious words,
just weren't for you

I no longer have a home.
    I no longer have
a place to return to.

Nobody is waiting for me anyway.
   There's nobody
    who needs **me
