Mary-Anne

Did you put it in a box?
Did you give it any name?
Or am I another number,
My beloved Mary-Anne?

Did you put it in the centre
Or the corner of your shelf?
Was there a four digit number,
Or a single lonely 'X'?

Did you lock it up for safety?
Did you seal it with a kiss
Or a curse? And did you wonder
How it ever came to this?

Do you ever come to see it?
Watch it beat against the wood?
'Mary-Anne', I think, 'how could you?'
But, oh yeah... I know you could.

Can't decide what I am missing
More: you or my broken heart.
Mary-Anne, did you feel sorry
When you watched me fall apart?

Did he put it in a box?
Did he sign it with your name?
Or were you another number
On his shelf, oh Mary-Anne?..
