rolling down, the pearls were rolling to

the ground, sliding like sweet rain that

tries to form a river. rolling down

the diamond was hard to find, escaping out

between my usual clumsy fingers

rolling down, no more gold or emeralds. hidden

in a place where they could always be seen. all

those things, a treasure is missed on the way.

the bill is paid, the deal is over but i've got no

receipt.

why ain't you kept in a box?

and then you set free the things he lost.

why ain't you kept in a case?

under lock and key to keep you safe.

it slowly comes, a flashback turning inside out,

photos printed in a strange cerebral paper.

it slowly comes, leaving the knife in the wound,

no door is big enough to block off this big hole.

rolling down, no more gold or emeralds,

hidden in the place they could always

be seen. all those things, a treasure is missed

on the way. the bill is paid,

the deal is over but i've got no receipt.

why ain't you kept in a box?

and then you set free the things he lost.

why ain't you kept in a case?

under lock and key to keep you safe.

future, past and present are all mixed.

better in a packet far away... rest in peace
