key

i have many shut doors
each locked with a key
many skeletons in my closet
ones you'll never see

secrets i have many
hid in away in my keep
some secrets i'll tell you
if they stay between you and me

if i let you into my life
shut the door behind you
whatever secrets i share with you
are only for you

and if you unveil my secrets
if the whisper tempts my soul
and your mouth forms the
forbidden words
return
your
key

Hi HW

what i read in your poem that the key to hold a relationship together is confiding in each other but should that promise be broken the door is shut forever without a compromise..
