The Key

the key sets one free

 

Deep down inside, I know, who and what you are, and of you I am of you, I am not afraid or scared

I trust the feelings I have for you and only you, other men, well in them I have no interest

No other man, has me so spell bound, to you, my very soul is bared

You can read me like an open book, you know in my eyes you are the cream of the crop, of all men, in my eyes you are the best.

 

We have met each and every night, over the past few months, in the garde, adjacent to my house

Living with my parents, it hasn't been easy from them to always get away

A lot of the time, sneaking to the garden, I had to be as quiet as a mouse

But I always manage, to get to the garden, to meet you, without delay.

 

If people knew you like I did, they would see you are not a monster, just a very misunderstood being

The heart most say you do not have, to this I strongly disagree

I know what you must do to survive, but eyes of others are blinded by fear, if only you they would consider seeing

You have never hurt me and from you, I never wish to flee.

 

We have devised a way for you to survive, I am a mortician, so I supply the blood you need, to survive, for you to breathe

This way no one dies, to supply your needs, the blood you get from me, the people are already dead

No one gets hurt, by your actions, no one has to grieve

Your unquenchable thirst for the life force, this way it is safely fed.

 

You were willing to try this, doing it this way, you doing this especially for me

So see you are not the monster, that most people think you are

It hurts to know, what you must do, to keep your existence alive, knowing that blood is the key

But when I'm with you, all those thoughts fade away, as a lot of times from the garden we look up at the stars.

 

I have thought about you and us very very hard, I know what I must do, and this choice I freely make

So I will join you, forever and a day, being your bride, but the one problem, safely obtaining the key

But together we will figure it out, so on one has to die, we will do this for safety's sake

Hoping one day we find the key, that will set us free.
