THE LOCKED DOOR


Destiny has seen to it that our paths have crossed.
And my heart rejoices that you are my friend.
Yet often times, it is hard to get close to you,
For there seems to be this wall without end.

There are times I think I have come to know you.
Other times, your heart is closed and doesn’t want to share.
And it says to me with words unspoken
“Enter in, if you dare!”

So, I am left standing outside your heart’s door.
Knowing that there must be a key,
That will unlock the gate that guards your heart
That you protect so diligently.

I have tried so many different keys,
To unlock the door and come inside.
It doesn’t seem to matter which one I choose,
The entrance within is always denied.

So, I shall wait patiently outside the gate
Of an unyielding wall fashioned by you.
For the day that you unlock your heart’s door,
And I am invited to come through.
