The Lock On Her Heart

Events in life, boxes of memories
Hidden in mind, with a lock on her heart
Preserving love, where all betrayal flees

No way to rewind to the very start
Scars of unforgotten tears, swept with lies
Hidden in mind, with a lock on her heart

Fortress with balconies, to see the skies
A safe place to laugh and dance on a whim
Scars of unforgotten tears, swept with lies

After inner healing, along came him
He who had the understanding, the key
A safe place to laugh and dance on a whim

She was now whole, her movements he could see
Hand in hand, step by step, in the balance
He who had the understanding, the key

Their whispered secrets under the valance
Events in life, boxes of memories
A creation at the end of absence
Preserving love, where all betrayal flees
