Love may come

I’d like to hide inside a cardboard box
To be protected from the world of  hurts
Where messages  come  both live and via text

I hear the clock and notice how it ticks
My life is going and my friends are curt
I’d like to hide inside a cardboard box

We travel on a ship which may be wrecked
We end up on the sea bed ,still alert
To messages   that come via  a text

Why do human hearts feel so attacked
When lovers leave  yet memories stll flirt
I’d like to crouch inside a cardboard box

Yet boxes are more vulnerable in fact
Unless they are our coffins  in the earth
No messages  could reach us via texts

To some ancient faith I may convert
After travelling through the sad desert
I’d like to hide   behind an iron fence
Yet love may come and end this great silence
