Lock And Key

I placed a lock upon my heart As I had placed one upon my front door, Now everyone must now first knock No one is allowed to just walk in any more. I am so tired and saddened of being used and hurt By the people that I have loved and trusted, So, like the lock upon my front door It will remain upon my heart, until it is old and rusted. To my lock there is now, but only one key Which I will always keep guarded and well hidden, Never again will a duplicate key ever be made It will be strictly and consciously forbidden. I hate a liar as much as I do a thief As they steal your trust and belief with a grin, So, into my house or into my heart Neither type of person will ever again be allowed in. I go to bed with all my worries and pain gone Now I start looking and thinking all about, A lock is a good thing to keep robbers and thieves away But, a lock only keeps an honest person out. Randy L.
