A Love Story

by Brain Trepaning - Aries

We lived up on a mountainside
In a cabin made of plastic
No trees were cut to build our house
But were cut to make room for it

I took my life home in a box
To hide it on a shelf
Figured it'd be safe this way
If I want it for myself

Your empty words, they tried to speak
But no voice could they afford
I slapped your face, you turned your cheek
Your words became my sword

I tried to put away the thoughts
That rifled through my mind
Closed my eyes to visions sent
Yet doled punishment out in kind

While billions yearn to be alone
To exist anonymous strangers
I would never let you go
One of my love life's little dangers

I took this box that held my life
A box of color blue
I buried it deep underground
Beside the last memory I have of you


the end
