Mine

hide It

take It out when no one is here

see It

feel It

hold It close, for It's dear

It wants to get out

It wants to be known

It knows not the cruelty It would be shown

hide It

shelter It

keep It safe

from exposition there's no escape

once out Its lost

not seen as true

once seen Its changed

then hope is through

naive, Its safe

unseen, Its sound

in perpetual waiting

Its self is bound
