Open Container

I could be long I could be short I could be another line That didn’t have the time So all I did was wonder why You could see me and so I’d feel seen But I would still look the same You could know me and so I’d be known And yet I’d still be what I contain My heart is open It holds on to hoping That you could feel how I feel Until then my lips will still be sealed Like a smile Formed in denial With no choice, but to wait a while
