Tiny casket
Close and latch it
Tiny casket with embroidered laces
Hiding faces
(Smiling faces)
The question,
No one wants to ask it
The funeral
No one wants to task it,
And the conversation
No one wants to have it.
Tiny casket
Lock and latch it
Tiny casket with an air of sober graces
It embraces
(Lost embraces)
The girl
You never became
The woman
You never knew her name
And the memory
Who never went away.
Tiny casket
Bury and latch it
Tiny casket lives in damp dark places
Scary spaces
(Empty spaces)
Forget her
You never should
Love her
You never could
Because of the tiny casket
made of wood.
