You Picked the Locks

You Picked the Locks

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

Or you found the keys

"
You picked the locks
Or you found the keys
Whatever you did
You got to me
What I'd locked away
You got to see

You picked the locks
Or you found the keys
You got past my
Insecurity
You opened the locks
And got to me

You picked the locks
Or you were the key

Most of us write about love, or at least romance. I am happy when I find this human condition expressed in a way I haven’t seen before, which you have done for me here. Great last line. I enjoyed this a lot.
