The Box

The Box

We both tried to work it out.
We struggled to pick up the scattered pieces
of our happy memories together
and put them inside an empty box.

As we fill in the box, it suddenly felt heavy.
Then, we helped each other carry it,
To take it to a place where we can mend
what we have torn apart.

 But, along the way, our load became lighter and lighter.
One of us said, "It sure is heavy a while ago. What went wrong?"

We stopped and looked inside the box,
only to find out that there is a tiny hole in it.

As soon as we reached our destination,
we are once again carrying an empty box,
And nothing was left of what we tried to save.

String


An invisible string tangled our hearts,

For reasons we cannot comprehend.

A complicated web

Both of us tried to remove

But, neither the sharpest pair of scissors on earth could cut it

Nor the strongest arms could break.

The harder we pull the strings,

The tighter it gets.

We tried and tried to loosen the knots

And failed in every attempt.

We both know we’re doing it wrong.

And yet, we never stopped.

Until one day, we finally realized…

That we never really want to be untangled.
