Emotional Bars
I gathered all of my dreams,
frustrations, wishes, and fears.
And locked them in a tower
guarded by a moat of tears.
Emotional bars won't let
these guarded feelings escape.
And a web of sticky lies
prevents dreams from taking shape.
Spanning the drawbridge of time
hope has built a secret door.
And beyond it lies a path
that takes me back to before.
But I threw away the key
that could have unlocked that door.
And fled from a memory,
lost to time forevermore.
