A Key

A Lock

Something that opens

Something that holds

Not caged or cuffed

Yet more powerful than these

She is my key

She is my lock

Without her

My life has no meaning

I’m fighting for breath

Drowning in a sea of despair

For she keeps me safe

Locked in her care

Yet, she has thrown away the key

Never more

Will she unpick my combination

With the fingers of her mind

As words of life and love

Pour like honey from her soul

Locked

No longer with a key

No longer to live free
