The Rhythm in the Music Box
She tapped into the rhythm
of her little music box,
reaching in her heart to see
who she is and what she’s lost.
She found a song deep in her soul,
that strange abyss where darkness rules.
‘Twas a tune that sang her heart to sleep,
a tune that pulled her into dreams.
When she finally awoke she was blind to her fears,
as she had done before to forget her tears.
She continued her life without a care,
the same routine she’s lived for years.
But eventually she saw that box on her sill,
heard the tune that played from its gears.
The pain came back, and with it her name,
she found who she was and what little she’s gained
