I Am the Key

It is amazing what love can do.

It can make you swallow a key.

If you grant me the gift of a secret,

It will never pass the barrier of my teeth

See, you have changed me so

Whereas before I might have let it slip,

Told anyone who would listen

Such a beautiful fact

Now it will die with my body

And be buried with my heart

If you prepare a smile for me

It can never leave my eyes

I will describe it to nobody

Nor leave any hints behind

When I did not adore you,

I would have shared this beautiful look with the world

Now it will be preserved in my mind

Never to leave you and I

If you were to build a house just for us

Our house would be our own, nobody else's

For I would never give the address

And I would not describe the colors of the walls

Had I never loved you,

I would have painted a picture in anyone's mind

Now it will exist in secrecy

Never to be discovered

Author's Note

I wish people would trust me.

OH! I almost forgot. You may feel as if no one trusts you, but I do. I always will and look below at the other people that do too. Just keep your head up no matter what problems you have, you'll get through them. I'll be here to help you if you need it. :)

I have to say that this is quite beautiful. I would say this is your best I have read so far, but if I did I would indeed be lying. Keep it up girl! You are an AMAZING writer!

Everybody would love to be trusted, it seems hard for someone who has been hurt deeply by another, it takes time to trust someone, this is a great poem.

Really interesting one of my friends I've known for 3 years now she can't trust me, I know how to keep secrets I don't gossip she just can't trust people. And I agree. I like this poem you did a nice job on it and the way it's writing you did a fantastic job on this. Keep it up!

Deep. the need to be wanted and trusted to share secrets and intimacies with another. Beautiful and intricate write. It has a strange whispered sadness laced with hope.
cheers!

A very interesting poem. It is sad we open ourselves to so few in a life. I could feel the desire to feel wanted and needed in the words. I like the many strong lines in this poem.
"If you prepare a smile for me
It can never leave my eyes"
Complete poem made many good points. I like the last line. A outstanding poem.
