Missing the key

by elizabethgw

I've lost the key that opens the door to my heart, It's like a painter painting without a brush to an incomplete piece of art. Like a bird singing a song that cannot be heard Like a poet writing poetry without a single word It is the complexity that creates the confusion Its Missing the flame that lights the spark to create a fusion. The thief is known to come in the night time But his not a thief but someone I used to call mine I guess you could say he stole a piece of me But he didn't I made the key and handed my heart for free We danced to a song that only our souls could hear Then he became out of rhythm and made me shed a tear Since I knew his song had found a knew singer So when he left I hoped he will return making me the jackpot winner But he comes and then he go's And now I feel his warm breeze that keeps me froze So I light the candle in the darkness he created I search through all the men I have previously dated But there is no one I find but him That can create fire inside when the match is dim When he reappears he takes my heart to dance We take two steps forward and I give him another chance Then two step backwards while I'm Lost in his dark eyes And in them I see the missing key to my jackpot prize
