Words,
I whispered words that no one heard
Then quickly slammed my box shut tight
They linger there, my whispered words,
As dangerous as dynamite
But don’t you fear the aftershocks
they’re safe within,
inside,
my secret silver box
Locks,
I took your locks of auburn hair
They bring me back our happy past
Of days we spent and nights we shared
Reminding me how fast they passed
And guess where I’ve locked up those locks
they’re hidden deep,
inside,
my secret silver box
Time,
The time we had runs in a loop
Your passion gave my life a glow
Fire set, you flew the coop
And left me ashes from the blow
And time then stopped, there are no clocks
they’re locked within,
inside,
my secret silver box
Days,
Inside my box, my diary,
You were the one I wrote it for,
It made a captive out of me
Yet neither old deception nor
An opportunity that knocks,
will open up
the locks
of my secret silver box
