Here I lay
 immersed in your world
 of shadow and light
 and corner of darkness
 that I must peer deep into
 and find the secrets contained within.

 I hold them precious
 stored in a velvet box
 where they will be safe
 forever untouched.

 And my tears will join them
 brilliant crystals
 of emotion and truth.

 These four walls
      these things
            your heart and soul
       in mine
            forevermore.
