Treasure chest

I have a treasure chest
though i wish i could
i cannot share it with you
its locked away in storage

as days lead to months
the lock on the chest rusts and gets weak
in midst of conversation
without warning you hack off the lock
you steal my treasure

the treasure you stole
were my secrets
you took them out of storage
out of my protection
you broke the lock
broke my heart

i've bought a new lock
and built more storage
i just hope my treasure
will never be stolen again
