The Heart In the Music Box

I sit upon the white surface beneath an empty sky.
It's the same one I've seen.
The world I'm in,it always seems to change.
But unlike yours,it's never spinning.
What lingers beyond the glass walls beside me?
Where do you go when you walk out that door,when the light shines through?
I promise I will wait for you.
You're coming home.
And when you do,I'll sing a song for you.
You'll never forget it.
Don't forget to hold me close.
To wind me up to hear my very soul.
It will never stop glowing for you.
A day for a night.
This trade keeps going on.
Just as my gears keeps moving on and on for life.
Please breathe the life that counters my inhumanity.
For I was created by man but exist through God.
If you should lose me in the pouring of the rain.
Don't beat yourself up,I didn't break in vain.
Sometimes you can not be around.
And our tear drops are the only visible sound.
For days or weeks,months or years at hand. 
Soon you'll find my heart and it will make yours whole again.
A promise that you'd wait for me.
It's been so woven into your soul.
Take me to see the world beyond my own presence.
Divergent are our worlds,they are alike.
Dim entities inside a world that shines!
Together,our words will echo so loudly!
I think our hearts will too.
