Box

Tanner Warfel

you were here and the pain was gone
but as soon as you came you left
the pain was back
and so was this paper and pen.

Imagine a box with a window
a man inside
the window is there to remind him of what he doesn't have
he lives there to this day.
he will die there. 

i take the pain
and turn it into hate
into a box
which i cannot escape

if i could go back 
and re-do it all
then i wouldn't have pain
no suffering.
but in return
i wouldn't have met you. 
I'd rather have pain and you
than happiness and no one

so take my box and shake it.
beat me up
if i have my window, then life is worth it. 

i take the pain
and turn it into hate 
into a box
which i cannot escape
