Locked In My Heart

Locked away in my heart, is a man. A man whom I have loved through it all. A man, who I grew to care so much about. It's been awhile, and I want to let him go. He calls constantly for his freedom . . . can you hear him? He's chained in my heart, like a prisoner in a ward. This man was my life, and all that I knew. He's tried to escape, and he broke my poor heart in half. He cut his hand on the jagged edges, that's why he stayed. This man searches for a key, or a way to escape me. Funny thing . . .I no longer love he. I no longer love, but I can't seem to let him go. He begs every night for freedom, almost like a wolf howling at the cresent moon. I can't seem to free him, I can't find the key. Somewhere along the way, the key got away from me. Sometime when he broke my heart, it slipped away. Someday when he made me cry, it must have floated past. So you see, this isn't up to me. I wish him to pass, but I'm scared of the hole. He fills something in me, not sure of what it is  . . . A man is locked away in my heart, but it still keeps it's rythem. A man is locked deep in the depths of my heart, and yet the blood still flows. A man is locked far beyond in my heart, I feel it breaking yet again. He's finding his way out, but he still bares my chains. This man is trapped deep in this cold heart of mine . . . Do you hear him calling, like the wind whipping in a cave? It's crying . . . It's pleading . . .It's begging only for the key!Little man in my heart, how I loved him so. He keeps me company, but I fear it's time to let him go. He wants another, as do I. Still he's trapped, deep in the depths of this heart . . . . .
