Box of Lies
A picture coated box
Sat between us
A symbol of hope
“We can fill it
With our lives”
We pulled out a Rand McNally
Closed our eyes and pointed
To places we wanted to see
Criss crossed lines
Connecting you and me
A vision board for our future
Placed in the box
cards and love letters to follow
One move and the next
The box went with us
Heavier each time
And one by one you filled it
With adorations of love
Crafted a world of
Promised dreams
A future we envisioned
Now, the box sits empty
The words tossed to the wind
You, a match setting it aflame
And me,
I’m just the fool
That fell for your
Box of lies
