Heart Shaped Box

Often times ignored, feeling battered and bruised
kep locked up to keep from being abused.
Stepped on, taken out too early one too many times
memories locked away, cherished, forever mine.

Memories of good and bad forever remain
inside this box laying there for her to claim.
Her who holds the key to this treasure inside
the one willing to work it out, through the long ride.

Not just any key will work, this treausre unique,
but only one, her this treasure will keep.
this journey continues onwards, toward forever,
another day is gone, forgotten? Will be, never.

The memory locked away with all the rest, unleashed someday
by that onee, dedication, assurance it will be okay.
Until then, buried deep inside, kept alone,
for that certain time when my heart it feels at home.

Closer, daily, this rocky road leads me there,
to the one with when forever I will share.
The key unknown, held by her only,
could it be true? Can this heart truly be free?
