The girl in the box
sits upon my shelf
hiding from the world,
keeping to herself.
When I need her most
I open up the lid
the bear the light
on where she hid.
My lullaby plays,
in her dress, she twirls.
She smiles sweetly
and her joy is heard.
It's the same old song
and the same old dance
to hide her feelings
behind a mask.
And when the song ends,
when the lid will close,
in the dark she?ll cry.
But no one knows.
