Key

in the place

without light

I was locked

for an infinity of days

and the key had fallen

where I could see it

across the corridor 

but the bars

kept me from reaching 

one day you passed

through the darkened hallway

and without 

making eye contact

or looking

you kicked it under the door

I knew you were 

saying

free yourself

I am here to lift everyone

out of the abyss

before I go again

yes,

you would have 

helped any girl 

under the ground

but I know

that the debt still

stands

every day now

I am going to 

watch the sun 

roll in

and give thanks

for the light
