Trapped inside a box, I feel
Trapped inside a box.
There is no more room to feel
There is no room to love

My heart is solid like a stone
It will not bend or break.
I’d rather keep myself closed off
Than love to hurt again

I do not want to love
I’d rather not receive
If I could stand back afar
I’d rather bleed and bleed.

Feeling has become so foreign
Love does not exist
To be alone is best for me
To be alone… it fits

To hurt crushes my inner being
To love is even worse
I’d rather live inside a box
Than hurt and hurt and hurt.

Amazing! It leaves a suspensful aura, and gives an excellent image! I agree with _Zavery_ , it has a very claustrophobic feeling. The only comment I have is be careful of redundancy. There was a few lines/words that I felt were repeated one too many times. Other than that it was a beautiful piece!
