I Live In A Box

Mandi

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)
