For my sixteenth birthday she gave me a locket Which I keep inside a bag, inside a box, inside of my drawer All shiny and silver, with initials engraved Carved on its back the date forever saved It is resting undisturbed, never worn out Though I try it out from time to time Put it on by the mirror and wonder to myself This is who I would be had things stayed the same I shake my heavy head, unclasp it from my neck The last piece of you at last is removed And yes, I do try to forgive But to this day that locket stays Inside of a bag, in a box, at the bottom of my drawer
