I Must Have Swallowed the Key

They say women change their minds as often as the wind changes direction, but
I notice men do so too.







Please do not come back
And say that you love me,
I'm the one that you lack
And your life's been so empty.

There is nothing to recover
For this heart's closed to Love-
It's just now you discover
A treasure you have snubbed.

Why unearth the mystique
Of a past that was buried,
And so hurt someone weak
With goodbyes that were hurried?

You have longed for my voice
And the feeling of bliss,
But you made the wrong choice
When you left me like this.

Gone is the arrow that Cupid shot,
Padlocked this heart, you see-
Though you pry it open, you cannot
For I must have swallowed the key!

Why it is that a dog with a bone will drop it for another bone? I have seen men with beautiful partners go away to another unknown. Is that, when we have been together for a period of time we become blind to the beauty that catch our eyes the first time?
We all should swallow that key.

Cynthia,
This is very touching and has a justifiable and understandable bitterness; when we're hurt and rejected it's natural we protect ourselves a second time. I wish you strength and love.
