Keyhole of Light

Dark and weathered you feel confused I knock on your heart but you won't let me through If privacy is granted you won't see the light I can still see a keyhole don't give up the fight It pains me to see you without a window of hope I can't handle the nails that drive your slate home Lets restore your foundation and give it new life Veneer will protect you I will find the best knight The lock is against us please give me the key I beg you I love you please listen to me.

I am late to find is gem but the fine pleasure in reading this poem is still the same. I know about begging to be allowed to help someone I loved. She was addicted to drugs and I was not allowed in to help. Love this plea and its depth and beauty. A fav..
