The Secret Box

The secret box where all hurts go
holds the pains of loss we all know
the secret box where all hurts go
holds the ache of loneliness we never show
the secret box where all hurts go
holds the stab of betrayal that seems to grow
the secret box where all hurts go
holds the burn of envy and its undertow
the secret box where all hurts go
holds the searing shame of embarrassment's glow
the secret box where all hurts go
holds tears of years that will never flow
