My Little Box
This is my little box
The one in which I hide my dreams
This is my little life
The one you made for me
This is my little box
Enclosing the future you denied
This is my little role
The lines you wrote for me
This is my little match
The one I hide inside my box
This is my little secret
The one between the lines
This is my little fire
Watch my dreams escape
These are your little ashes
Bury them in your box
- Stephen DeVoy,
