Heart and Brain of Me

I the lock and you the key,
to unlock the heart and brain of me.
Open the thoughts and ideas of my mind,
Look into my heart to see what you find.

What do I see each day through my eyes,
what feelings do I hide with all my lies?
What things around me do I choose to hear,
What in me is my greatest fear?

How do you know what I feel for you,
I show myself to very few.
Hiding things is my art,
keeping closed my brain and heart.

Find my heart and unlock my brain,
all you have to do is get past my pain.
It may be hard to receive my love,
but when you reach me, we'll be in the stars above.
