The Starry Skies

Crack the box open Break out the scissors and check for what's within Break it, it's but a token Of a great mysterious story that's about to begin Worry not for what you've found You've taken a great first step The box remained closed for years Considered unholy but ordained by all the peers Those who once dared try Have had their vision clouded by their bloodshot eyes No depth perception of which to speak The contents of the box remained unforeseen Disclose what you've found to me Tell me what your soul has once longed for Let me know if it was what you expected to see Perceive with your heart & mind Your eyes are clouded, too I beseech your soul to see me as I am true For the box contains my soul You're the first to crack the box And unleash it whole It spent oh so many years alone It longs for yours Within the coldest of dark nights It feels your warmth Despite living many flights away Across the land and sea It perceives you to be near It wishes we w...
