Boxed up my Heart

Boxed up my heart
when it got to much to bear
threw away the key,
refused to visit there.

The dust and debris that gathered around it,
causes me to adjust and move on without it.

With one look from your eyes, I'm faced with my fears.
Must visit that box, succumb to the tears.

Screams echo in my ears, "Face it, move on!"
Can't do it alone, need someone to lean on.

Pandora slips out, fear rakes though my soul. Quick lock it back up, cant face it alone.

Wipe off the dust, place it in view. Don't have the strength, not without you.

I see your box is just as full as mine. I'll support you with yours if you support me with mine.

For one day we will face it. Together we will stand, unlock these boxes, with gifts for each other, outstretched in our hands.
