Hidden

Hidden in an obscure place
I found a heart shaped box
Memories came flooding back
When it was unlocked

I remember all the pain
I had sealed away
I should not have opened this
It’s causing much dismay

I thought that if I sealed it up
I would soon forget
The agony of life with you
That caused me much regret

Maybe I should burn this box
And recollections in it
Don’t know why I salvaged this
What aching it transmits

I’ll seal this box and bury deep
To stop my mind from churning
I don’t need this anymore
The lessons have been learned
