I asked you not to ponder,
And I told you what I could.
You pushed and I thwarted,
No, move away from this box.
A box, you say.
A box, so safe.
What, in it, you hold?
Give us a little peek, just for a moment.
It's not yours to open.
Don't loiter around now, go.
Don't ask me what's in it.
Don't make guesses, you don't need to know.
But you asked and you guessed,
You wanted the key,
But I wouldn't give.
Your mind, curious, scared.
Tucked me into bed,
And bid me love and kisses,
Off you went, the moment I slept,
To find out.
You lurked, you schemed.
Oh what could be so precious.
So close to her heart.
Isn't she promised to me?
Then her box and she shall one day be mine.
To that thought, you smiled.
I'll break the box open and apologise.
My curiosity be damned but I must be forgiven.
And at once, you brought down a hammer upon it's head.
And it burst, into flames.
Little did he know,
That box opened only to burn away, to erase.
It had all of her, in a million obscure compartments,
With a million different keys
It scorched her and devoured a bit,
Every time a compartment opened.
He went back to the room,
To find an empty bed and a note.
I only wanted to give you the truth,
But only the ones you deserved to know.
I wasn't all yours to have. I never shall have been.
Tell me, love, should I have lied?
Now, there's nothing left to know.
Now, there's nothing left to erase.
