I can't stop
My gaze cannot be taken off
Of this box
So intricately designed
By some one I know not
So mysterious and yet so forboding
You temptatious little piece of curiousity
So beautifully crafted
So wonderfully dark
And lustrous
Being told many a time that the box must never be opened
I will never
But it looks so lovely
So fabulously cube-shaped and
I gaze and wonder what is inside
I must never open it
Maybe just one look
Never
No one will know
I can
Cannot fight this
As I open the lid
One scream escapes my lips
As what is inside the box becomes apparent
Death.
