Poetic Verses
Nightmare in a Box
I put my nightmare in a box
but I couldn't throw it away,
I wrote on it, "Do not open"
then went about my day.
My box is there to haunt,
when I see it in my view,
inside there is a surprise
that would even scare you.
I taped up the box good
and put it out of sight,
I don't like its contents
because the memory isn't right.
It is a box of personals
that I would rather lose,
my life was taken over
and I didn't get to choose.
What is this secret nightmare?
I guess that I will share,
a locket in a small wooden chest,
and a ceramic "I Love you" bear.
For now it's in a hidden pile
where it will have to stay,
I put a picture in my locket
of a person who went away.
This nightmare is my secret
and nobody else should know,
when I open up the locket
mysterious feelings come and go.
I will not tell another person
the story behind the danger,
in the past I was stupid
and fell for a dark stranger.
Like I said, "Do not open"
as the nightmare is too real,
I will not say any names
nor admit how I really feel.
