A Basket in the Closet

✴ A Basket in the Closet ✴
A Tale of a Girl and Love Wrapped in a Basket

You always watched her through your window,
Playing by herself, her face aglow.
A basket in the closet.

You would go out and steal her drawings,
While she stayed in, lost in her doings.
A basket in the closet.

You knew she was meant for you, so sweet.
She never knew she'd end up neat.
"A basket in the closet?"

You held your heart every day,
Wanting to play with her in every way.
A basket in the closet.

One day you built the courage,
To confess your love.

Her father was a sick twisted man,
"Stay away, stay away," he screamed.
A basket in the closet.

You were growing lonely,
the drawings weren't enough.
A basket in the closet.

You lead her away, one summer day,
Down that-a-way, one summer day.
A basket in the closet.

She kept singing until she found out,
She would forever and lastly be with you.
A basket in the closet.

Your love is alive,
You kept her head in.
A basket in the closet.

Her father was a sick twisted man,
"Where is she, where is she," he screamed.
"A basket in the closet?"

But he'll never know.
And she'll always be with you.
In a basket in the closet.
