Crystallizing memories
Closing down the door
locking up the waterfalls
Slamming shut the cabinets
Placing chains on the handles
Wrapping it up
Putting it away down on memory lane...

Placing a rock to top it all
heavy gear I can't even take off
To make sure it's all done
Ensuring it won't open on its own...

Walking away
not looking back
let it sleep a hundred years
while I go on a hike.

If you find it someday
Just know the weight is heavy
The locks are in place
And the key thrown away...
The marks will be there
The tears and the cracks
And only if you're **** worth it
It will let you open it back up.
