Thank you Mr. Barker for first taking time to read this poem, then commenting. My inspiration comes from me painting the diary of people. This happened to be the diary (experience) shared with me by one of my students (11th grade). She was sooo in love; notice I said she was. She confided in me about her pain and dissapointment in her fella, and his love disappearing more & more each day, at the end of their relationship. Hence, the music box closing more & more each day. Surprise ending though, they got married, 2 years ago, upon graduating from high school!!!
hmy: Yes, they are still married today, with a 1 year old little cherub, named Michael.
