What lies behind the key

You asked me a question without saying a word.  Could I ever love again?
I couldn't find the answer.  should I ever want to?  The words that escaped my mouth. then you asked them to show you things you already knew to be true. So I obliged.  No deflections or misconceptions to lead you astray.  The ways of a slippery tounge.  Should I just show you the wrong side of a key?  Let all the memories melt away.  Twisting and rolling like two serpents wrapped in lustful irresponsibility. Laying half naked beneath floors.  Should I take another by her hand. Blowing on clouds, foolishly trying to piece myself together with a bag of broken shards?  Smoke rings and endless possibility. Don't get lost Staring into the gaze of a gazers stare.  Looking through the eyes of what you wanted to see.  All the while burning with a torch every memory of you and me.
