The Silver Box

There is a silver jeweled box, encrusted with precious stones;
Crushed velvet lines the inside with crimson undertones.
I keep it so well hidden that no mortal shall ever find;
this box I hold so dear to me of things I've left behind.
It doesn't exist in reality, but resides inside my head;
It's filled with things I've longed for and tears that I have shed.
It's filled with disappointments. It's where I hide my shame;
It's a place where I can run and hide where no one is to blame.
Were this box chock-full of wishes of which I were granted three;
I'd close my eyes and use but one, to rewrite history.
