Don't Look Too Close

This is the first decent thing I've written in over a year.

I've been beaten, stabbed, tortured at most

But I won't let it wipe the smile from my face

For I know karma works in mysterious ways

And my smile becomes cynical if you get too close

I've loved and I've lost,

Most know that story these days

So I lock up my trust

With secret keys and a maze

If you dare to trespass on territory that's not to be seen

I won't wish you mercy on the demons that intervene.

Wow the last stanza. This is really really well written. Great job.

It's good. I like it. As per usual I want to write when I read your poems. I wonder what could be brought forth when I knock on the maze of your key locked door.
