My heart is like an empty box
with a tightly fitted lid
Where once was filled with love inside
and my feelings there once hid

This time before when this small box
was full of life and wonder
Soon after many loves had gone
had made it's fullness plunder

The little that was in the box
of what was once inside
I gave it to one single love
but to myself misguide.

And slowly he began to take
each piece inside my heart
and throw it one by one away
and left me in the dark

So now here is my empty box
A symbol for my heart
Where once was filled with hope and love
That easily fell apart

Be careful whom you give your heart
You don't want to live in fear
A lesson that was hard to learn
as I watched it all disappear.
