The Little Blue Box

In a little blue box
At the back of a drawer
In my bedroom for none to see
There is a small secret;
A piece of broken heart
In the shape of a tiny key

The box is locked tight
At the back of the drawer
Where I hide my treasury
Any who find it
They will never know
Just how much it means to me

Years will now pass
But it will always be there
Reminding of what could never be
For there was never a lock
It was ever meant to unlock
Sometimes a key is just a key
