The Key

Folder: 
Love

You hurt so much it scares us both

Not knowing why you do

Suppressing it all so nobody knows

But I can see right through



Open my door, yours is closed

Come get the key from me

Your heart is tired, comatose

But I’ll wake it up, just wait and see



I’ll separate the frame

Kick it, bust it till it breaks

You’ll never be the same

Once I shake your heart awake



I’ll rip apart the threshold

Tear down the weather strip

I’ll protect you from the cold

I will be your heart’s locksmith



I’ll chisel away at the hinges

And make your guard come down

Those bars your heart infringes

Will no longer be around



And this lock that has no key

I will properly confiscate

I’ll step in while your heart’s asleep

And help it to reactivate



As you awaken from this sleep

I’ll be the first thing that you see

Assuring your heart won’t skip a beat

As I present you the brand new key

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Eric, you opened the door to my heart and I thank you for that - I'll find the key to open yours back up...whatever it takes.
