Lock Box

Inside my lock box are things I hold dear
things you cannot comprehend
that hold me tight when I'm consumed with fear

Hard to explain-you see, cause you cannot see them
I cannot tell you what they are
You don't understand how they can mend

My heart when it is broken, wipe my tears when they fall
of all the things I've lost in life,
This would hurt the worst of all

If I were to wake up one day
and find the contents gone,
I don't know how I could ever play

It off like nothing was wrong
I swear I feel its all I have
Only the contents inside come along

Wherever I go, whatever I do-I know I will always have
that place in my heart where the lock box resides
If I were to lose it, you couldn't even use "sad"

To describe my heart- consumed with pain
under a sheet of broken memories
Tears fall like rain

The darkness would engulf me
the sun would be no more
And I'd crawl back in my hole where no one could see

What was once hope in my eyes
that sparkled and glistened and smiled at the thought
of being loved unconditionally without all the ties

That hold me back now and stop me from finding my own
happiness that I know is out there for me
If only they could tell just how much my heart has grown

Then they would know the pain I would feel
if I were to lose it all
I dare you to try-see if you can steal

What I hold dear to my heart
that which you cannot touch-I cannot lose this you see,
My entire world would fall apart
