This is a collaboration poem, where a friend of mine provided me with half the idea and me with the other half. And this is how it turned out.

The Key To The Broken Heart

The one that stands before you,
is the one defined by the past.
I take a quick glimpse of you,
with all the pain in my heart.

Let me dig you up from your pain,
to the very core of your heart.
Is it going to be that painful,
to know what you are?

The pain you see is subjective,
to be felt by me and me alone.
To witness is not to feel,
as my pain remains unrevealed.

I do not want to witness the pain,
I want to feel what you crave.
To connect to your internal desires,
is what I am looking to do.

The pain that I carry in my heart,
is beyond even your imagination.
I cannot let you bear the pain,
you deserve something much better.

As my words take a turn for poetic,
I find myself hitting a wall.
And it contained a large golden door,
but I don't find the key for it.

Just as the events unfold,
a key falls out of my pocket.
A key that unlocks my heart,
and separate me from evil within.

Give me the key that you hold,
let me open the door for you.
Let me connect to you and feel,
will you allow me to do so?

But I began reminiscing the past,
finding happiness in pain I felt.
Let me bathe in this pain longer,
I still haven't had my fill yet.

I had stolen the past you hold so dear,
will you give me the key to the door?
I will give you my present and future,
for the key you will give in return.

Helplessly looking into your eyes,
I pondered over the key in hand.
A question went round and round in mind,
to give or not to is the answer I seek.

My eyes will give you the help,
help which is not help, but love.
Love and affirmation, allow me,
let me hold you affectionately now.

But I cower in fear of your presence,
only because of the eyes I see.
I fear that one day or the other,
those eyes will betray me like the rest.

My eyes never lie to you nor anyone,
it is made up of trust and love.
Believe me without thinking further,
allow me into that heart of yours.

I take a look at my broken heart,
to find one piece surviving.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt me anymore,
to give away what remains of me.

The broken heart you now possess,
I will give you mine to complete it.
Listen to your heart and tell me,
can I be a part of your life now?

The eyes I saw mesmerized me to no end,
how could I bring myself to say no to them?
I stooped as I reached out to the key in me,
but mustered enough courage to give it to you.

And the gate had begun to crumble slowly,
as the key to the heart was bestowed
The answer to the question had been found,
ending with leading the heart to light.
