I try to sever the feelings that dwell
Instead I lock them in a cell
Waiting for the moment to finally be free
When we could have each other for eternity
But as my heart is locked away
The walls around me then decay
Showing glimmers to you of what's inside
Showing you what I would provide
Revealing the secrets of my heart
Until you decide to depart
From the sight of these crumbling bars
To not look upon my many scars
Left behind from pain that had been
Not on the surface but wholly within
Piercing the heart as was done in the past
For the sight of you was gone so fast
You didn't care to look below
To see my heart and how you make it glow
Beating for you there is why the walls break
But as you walk away each part of me does ache
You strengthen my heart with just your sight
And I try to be you shining knight
To protect you as long as I would exist
No matter the trouble I would only persist
But as you leave from my narrow view
Nothings there on which my strength will renew
As though I've never used my muscles at all
Like a baby's first walk, I surely would fall
But you hold the keys to what locks what's so deep
Able to decide whether to open or take a peep
Until you choose I'll try to sever even more
Because the only thing that's better, is if YOU'D open up the door
