Cleaning My Room

A long forgotten box right there it lies, 
Concealed by recent study documents, 
I wonder what the secrets there may rise, 
Surrounded by a stack of ornaments, 

I clean the dust on top of everything, 
And close my eyes to fall into the past, 
With who, and where, did I put on that ring? 
Excited, hoping for a memorable blast! 

The precious box held tightly in my lap, 
Closed shut with locks that break irrevocably, 
Which means once broke will forever cause a gap, 
Perhaps I should not venture recklessly. 

What’s past is past and I should not look back. 
In case I find the proof of where I lack.
