Caged

My heart caged for protection

I gave you the key with instructions

Never open the cage, don’t toy with the key

You look at the key one day and think

What harm?

You feel the key and think

This isn’t bad

You begin to carry the key with you thinking,

I like this

You drop the key and you think

It is only a scratch, it will still work

You insert the key in the cage

But you do not open the door

You insert the key and take out my heart

Only to return it very soon

The key you carry becomes damaged

From the disclosure

Time slips by unnoticed

You want to use the key

You want my heart for your own selfish reason

Finally I have realized

My heart caged for protection

The lock has been changed
