Sealed up tight
Taped and boxed
Without function
Without cost
Sitting farthest from the sun
Like a child's toy abandoned
Collecting dust just out of place
Without a name without a face
The soul of me kept out of reach
In sterile captivity it sleeps
Comatose
As if someone mauled it
Stiff and frigid
As if frozen solid
Concealed inside that space confined
Never knowing love
Never being defined
Dark and inappropriate
No one cares to look for it
Or even approach it in its case
Locked away in midnight space
Sleeping for a thousand years
Through a thousand wrongs
A thousand tears
Waiting for something slight
To open this box and give it light
No one cares to break the chains
Nurture this hope
Dissolve this shame
No one cares to touch my soul
And free it from darknes's control
Fear creates them paralyzed
Afraid of what would come from inside
And so it sits a thousand years
Through darkest blame
Consumed in fear
Taped and boxed
Sealed up tight
My soul pushed farthest from the light
Collecting dust just out of place
Without love without a face
Without function
Without cost
My soul locked in Pandora's box
Forever waiting for something slight
To unlock the box and breathe me to life
