Pandora's box

eggs, spinach and toast
such a lovely combination
in the morning it rained
in the summer it poured

what do you do about that now?
can you lift a hand to help?
is the box still Pandora's?
are you afraid to let her out?

she wails inside her prison
no books to read, no drink to succeed
my god, she is thirsty
she needs her lip gloss

you have the  key
either open or disregard
I can't stand the frustration
either let her in or out

the key in the lock
I knew you were weak
the box has been broken 
let her mayhem soar decadently

a hero must be called
No! a genius hero must be found
to tempt her faith and will
she must get back in the box

the genius is stumped
the hero overrides him
he takes the Pandora entity
he fights with her til dawn

she is stronger than he thought
full of power and determination
our hero grabs her by the hair
the box begins to adjust

No! she screams 
I must do this dear, we must defend
she whimpers to our hero's tears
his one true love has to be defeated

she has entered the box
it takes the willpower of our hero to slam it shut
the whispers in the box
she whispers to him

our genius-hero leans against the box
tears in his eyes, unhappy of what he has done
he wipes the tears and the locals prepared a feast
No, thanks, our hero mumbles

as he wanders into another part of town
what has Pandora taken?
your soul and his
our genius-hero, in pain for his sorrow

his pain is too real, no more cupids and arrows
his pain too real
his pain
real
