I Am Handing Back the Key To Him

(02/09/2011)

I was blue in color and wet the 
whole part
He peeked in to my opened drawer
He spotted my infected heart
It was shrunk into smaller
Next to it, he found a box full of 
tears
In the other corner, he found you 
feeding my fears

He then shooed you to leave my 
feelings
Started to wipe, dry and clean the 
inside
Gave the key back while teasing me 
and  winking
He has saved my pride
My feelings drawer now in clean 
beam
Sure thing, I’m handing back the 
key to him!

This is not an uncommon situation you wrote of...many of us have experienced this emotional drain. You painted a poetic picture and then placed the words in a lovely frame! Wonderful write. Gwendolen
