Refuge

 

There is a box

Hidden

But never forgotten

Cloistered in my heart

If you ever love me

The right way

You will get to look inside

And in the looking

You will decide

To love me less

Or not at all

For there are secrets

Bound in ugliness

Broken promises

Cruelty

Waste

Squandered love

Two people living as one

In the light

And in the dark
Hiding

Deep below
