Little black box
When you left I put you in a box
wrapped you up and left you in the back of my head
Every now and then you pop up in my mind
leave me alone
it just isn’t our time
You left me so sudden
it all just went away
I didn’t have time to cry for you
so I walked away.
Everyone leaves one day
but it just wasn’t your time
that day in the hospital
a part of me died.
Every time someone left a part of me left too
it’s a wonder I’m still here
standing here
writing this to you.
With tears held back
I shiver in fear
because I don’t know who I’ll lose next
and drown out my tears
The world is so big
yet oh so small
why can’t you just leave when you leave
why do you linger in my dreams?
Letting go of pain
is the hardest thing I’ve had to do
Living in this world of mine
I do what I have to do
Today is another day
Today I continue to walk
Today I live my life
with you in that little black box.
