Hidden in the shadows,

and from plain sight.

An emotion hides within my heart,

and in the darkest night.



Hidden like the stars at day,

or like the city of Atlantis.

My heart holds a feeling,

as beautiful as a kiss.



It's locked in a box so tightly,

deep in my heart you see.

Under the steel of a lock,

only opened by a single key.



If this box is ever opened,

and this emotion should roam.

My friends would all desert me,

and I will be left alone.



It's a tale of Romeo and Juliet,

love forbidden to be shared.

And until death opens their eyes,

no one will even care.



I wish to release the feeling,

but it's something I just can't do.

Because of the outcome of this act,

I can never say, "I love you."



An emotion forbidden,

for it seems impossible to work.

And I don't want to live forever alone,

and be thought of as a lonley jerk.



Should I forget this box all together,

and quit believing in my heart?

Should I block out this feeling,

before my life falls apart?



This love I cannot express,

is tearing up my soul.

And if I dwell anymore,

my mind will lose control.



So, should I hide this Pandoras box,

far across the open sea?

And have if be lost and never found,

forever under lock and key.
