I live in a box
With a roof
I live in a box
With a door
I live in a box
With a window
I live in a box
With a chair
I live in a box
Under the roof with the door locked by the window in a chair
I live in a box
And its been that way year after year
I live in a box
As I stare out the window I wonder
I live in a box
Does she, does he, what about...you
I live in a box
And I see you every morning now running with headphones on
I live in a box
What do you listen to, what are you thinking about
I live in a box
Today you're walking are you okay did something happen
I live in a box
You looked this way and I hid, did you see me
I live in a box
I stayed there this time and watched you wave hello, my heart was pounding
I live in a box
Today I opened the window and I heard your voice
I live in a box
This time you stopped and spoke to me and though I sat there I listened with all my heart
I live in a box
You asked me to leave with you and no matter how much I wanted to I couldn't
I Live in a box
I think you know I can't leave my box
I live in a box
I'm afraid, afraid of leaving and afraid of you leaving
I live in a box
I didn't see you today...or today...or today
I live in a box
I know what scares the most and today I unlocked the door
I live in a box
Relief flushed over me when I heard you say hello
I live in a box
If you ask me again I'll try harder, I think I can leave for you
I live in a box
You knocked on my door
I live in a box
I opened the door
I live in a box
You stretched out your hand and I closed my eyes and took it
I live in a box
With a roof
I live in a box
With a door
I live in a box
With a window
I live in a box
With a chair
I live in a box
Under the roof with an open door and an open window and an empty chair
I live in a box
With you but I'm out there holding your hand on an adventure

WELCOME MANDI ~ Love the form and rhythm of your Poem. In classical poetry ~ repetition is very important ! I get the message I LIVE IN A BOX ! You are special ~ but not too different ~ we all (in the UK) live in BOXES ~ made out of ticky~tacky and they all look the same. BUT I like to get out of my BOX (especially if love comes calling !) or I invite the LADY in .............. ! Love the last line ~ you eventually broke loose from you BOX ~ AMEN Some can't and some never do ! Thanks for sharing ~ Please check my poems YOURS ~ BRIAN (UK)
Glad you liked it.😊 I look forward to reading your work.
Great write, and welcome to MPS
Thank you
