My heart is a lock
and I hold the key
all to myself
yet I'm not lonely
for I have spent years
giving it away
to those who do not
ever wish to stay.
Now I really see--
in fact, quite clearly--
that these people did not
deserve such luxury.
When I now say no
and keep my key close
they slowly begin
to reap what they sow
I do not seek revenge,
for I truly know
that without their apathy,
I would not grow.
I promise finally,
to protect my heart's key
and save it for someone
who's worthy of me.
