Am I Dead To You? (Multiple Quinzaine)

Your heart still does lock me out.
Am I dead to you
for all time?

Sitting here in an abyss.
Did you dig this pit
to keep me?

All my senses are now numb.
Have you killed off all
my feelings?

All the seasons come and go.
But why do they seem
all the same?

Captive with no where to go.
Have you locked my heart,
thrown the key?

Let the torture be gone now.
Would you come now to
bury me?
