Lock Box

once you break 

open the lock box,

you'll regret what 

the damage costs

all this time I only 

looked your way

hoping that you’d notice my 

eyes and how the moods change

you say I have your heart,
with words sweet and kind

our souls twisted together,
the strings are forever tied

you’re all I’ve ever 
wanted and the only

one who understood
what I’ve endured early on

and how it has shaped 
me into adulthood 

so as I allow my trust to 
be safe with you,

with all the things that 
we’ve been through 

I promise that I will 
never open the box

to that curse 

of the past,

for what we've had 

or what we’ve lost
