Key to my Heart

a poem by Raina

I had closed the door upon my heart,
and wouldn’t let anyone in.
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt,
but that would never happen again.

I had locked the door, and tossed the key
as hard and as far as I could
love would never enter there again
my heart was closed for good.

Then you came into my life,
and made me change my mind.
Just when I thought my tiny key was impossible
to find.

That’s when you held out your hand,
and proved to me I was wrong-
inside your palm was the key to my heart,
you had it all along.
