Box

I saw you
Aimlessly and endlessly
Circling

Not figuring it out
Not figuring it out
Not figuring it out

Like a lion in a cage - for 20 years
Like a lost piece of paper - very important
on the bottom of an old bag
Like a touch of an old woman - asking for support
And remembrance of some warm moments
in the cob-web of her past
Like his hand reaching for hers
and receiving just a cold stare

Like catching up
Like trying to catch up
Like giving up

On holiday - not finding anybody home
At work - not seeing anybodies face
Sitting on a chair that becomes
more and more expensive
every year
until no more diamonds are left unused

Do you believe in diamonds - he asked?
Do you believe in the way they reflect the light?
Do you believe in their shine?

I noticed the blue around his hair
It was an angel touching his soul

He put everything he had -
Every single thing that mattered
In a box

The box was screaming

Waiting for a day it will be opened
To uncover
Secrets
Of life that was not to be
Because of fear
