Ke

It was better than any surprise any child ever got

This key I found to a reinforced lock

On a box

That i had owned and treasured

Then thrown away and forgotten

at the bottom of my closet

I thought I lost it

Under all my old clothes

under all my skeletons

Thing is, a locked box hidden under scary skeletons is easily forgotten

Especially when there's no key to unlock it

So I devalued what was inside it, and convinced myself that I would never find it

I even tryed to convince myself that there was never any box

Never any lock

Cuz the skeletons are scary and the closet is dark

And if it ever did exist, its all they way at the bottom

and its way easier on my mind to stop looking

So while blinded by closed eyes

Frozen cold, and closed minded

I was blinded sided by some shining object

Like sUnshine

It was a key

A key I had found and had been carrying around in my pocket

Now it was shining,

This key

Brightening everything around it,

So bright it was like it was all i could see anymore

And i couldn't imagine how i never noticed before

And I cleaned up my world

under the light it gave off

The sUnshine I saw

motivated me to want more

But I still had no box,

and I still had no lock

And my skeletons are scary

and my closet is dark

and I wouldn't dare approach that hellish closet

with this beautiful key

Can i tarnish the sUnshine with this dark side of me.

I was protecting the key

I had forgotten the box

Devalued the love that lied under the lock

because it lied under my scary skeletons

and I lied to myself so long

But the key found the box on its own

The key unbound the lock

And inside was the best feeling i ever forgot

Better than any surprise any child ever got

Instantly i felt

safe

secure

appreciated

warm

special

admired

adored*

not to mention spoiled rotten

But these are only words

without the feeling inside it

they cant begin to describe it

the long lost content of real love

I thought I'd never find it

But i found it in my girlfriend

Her name is Keanna

I call her Ke.
